  • Chuck Krause – missed meeting last week because of his vacation he took here in Rochester.

  • Liz Richardson went without her husband on shopping trip to NYC.

  • Rino Pappano missed one meeting but made up in Paris, France.  He told the club that the meeting cost him $100.00 to attend.  The members in the Paris club do not pay anything for the lunch but are assessed $2500.00 per year as club dues.  They also do not do much fundraising since the dues are this high.  Many are professionals and will write a check whenever they do consider fundraising.

  • Mike Perotto took his family and another couple of Rotarian families to Myrtle Beach last week.  He did enjoy golfing and cigars.

  • Deb Walker confessed to being one of the other Rotarian families that accompanied Mike.  The other member who remained undisclosed was not at the meeting today.

  • Mike Sofia took his family to Orlando for ten days and he enjoyed one cigar.

  • Gabe Geiger was also at Myrtle Beach with his family but was not the member who went with Mike.

  • Dr. Strauss had a very bad week last week.  His brakes on his car caused him to not stop until he was at the airport where he flew to Florida for a Caribbean cruise.

  • Larry Waye took a business trip to Cuba (not Cuba NY). He did not bring any Cuban Cigars back with him.

  • Frank Ardino, Gary Valentine Tom Nolan, Laurel Harrington, and Tim Hack missed meetings and paid appropriate fines.
