Fines

     President Joe fined any member who has not brought a potential new member for lunch since July. Remember, potential new members guest dine at the expense of the club.  Please bring a friend or business acquaintance that you  think would be a good member.

     Josh Arnold was fined for trying to take out the Rockport Golf Team with his golf cart.  A nice thought, but we do not resort to violence in Rotary. Tony Corrao was fined for not sitting with his niece, an Interact member.
