John Murphy filled in for George as Finemaster this week. His role in new member orientations inspired him to invite all the Icebreakers to participate in a quiz based on the orientation packet they received. Participants Ken Chan, Swati Puri, Ramon Oseguera, Eszylfie Taylor, Dan Place, Glenn Oyoung, and Jim Pontello were to be fined $10 each for each answer the group missed.
They correctly identified the founder of Rotary (Paul Harris), where Rotary was founded (Chicago), when Arcadia Rotary was founded (1927), the current RI President (Gary Huang), District 5300’s current Governor (Larry Skaggs). However, they missed the year Rotary was founded (1905), where the first luncheon meeting took place (Oakland), Paul Harris’ middle name (Percy), how much Arcadia Rotarians have donated to The Rotary Foundation (over $750,000). When they missed an Avenue of Service and one part of the 4-Way Test, John waived all their fines and fined himself $25 for his poor training at the orientation meetings.
