Erin served as Sergeant at Arms today. John suffered a badge fine and a tardy fine. Richard thanked Tracy for the “wonderful banana bread… the best ever.” He also thanked the club for all the support in recent years saying, “This is a wonderful club and I enjoy everyone in it.”  Pete offered up this ditty… “In all the things we say and do and think, remember to fill a bag for Clynk.” The account stands at $206.60. Tracy thanked Gail and Melanie for sponsoring the grand prize in the 2 Cents Sale raffle. She also thanked Bob for going to Hollis to get Poland Springs water. George’s house is on the market; he says Rotarians will enjoy martinis at the estate sale!  Bob was pleased to award two $1,000 Norm Wilkinson scholarships to Wells High School seniors Hannah Cottis and Jason Poulin. Erin noted that Bob will put up our three new flags at Rotary Park. Melanie matched her late dollar with a happy dollar for the booming real estate activity! Ed Seppa told of recent accomplishments of some former students. 
 
With $89 on the line, Richard drew the 3 and 9 of Clubs. No cigar!
