Finemaster Dave finally got the chance to catch Paul Kalemkiarian attending a club meeting.  Dave had such a stack of newspaper clippings that he didn’t know where to start with the fines for Paul, so he settled for an all-in-one fine of $50 for the lot.

Bob Harbicht has been missing from the club meetings for a couple of months and we finally found out why.  He was on vacation in New Zealand and Panama.  Once he clarified that it was two separate trips, a bike trip in New Zealand and a cruise in Panama, he was fined $50.

Finemaster Geoff called upon Laura Freedman to take credit for USC’s winning of the rights to the letters “U-S-C” over the University of South Carolina.  Her choice of postage (a custom USC stamp) laid the fine squarely at her door.

Nancy Nien shared her good news with the club: she and her husband are expecting their second baby.  As a start to the fines that new babies bring, she was fined the first installment of $25.

In the interest of giving equal time to all political candidates, the three club members who are running for Arcadia City Council were asked to stand for recognition.  Jason Lee and Sho Tay have been previously recognized for their candidacies, but Bob Harbicht, whose absence is noted above, had missed out on this opportunity and was thus fined an additional $25.

As one final gesture, Dennis Lee was given the opportunity to plug the annual Mardi Gras benefit being held by Methodist Hospital.  The finemasters did not miss their opportunity to fine him $25.
