Thank you for donation to Polio Plus
- Doing the Math -- We donated $3,700 to Polio Plus at our Installation and an additional $875 raised previously. The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation was offering $2.00 for every dollar raised -- therefore because of RCHB, $14,725 will go towards Polio eradication. It is estimated that each vaccine costs ~ $1.90 so therefore, we provided enough funds for 7,750 doses! APPLAUSE PLEASE!!

Birthday
Recognitions
Happy Dollar
Alan O. was $15 happy. He resigned from the Bay Clinic Board of Directors which has lightened his to do list considerably. He was able to have an interesting experience in visiting Kalani Cone. He claims that with the road conditions, if he had a bottle of cream with him at the beginning of the trip, he would have had butter when he reached Kalani Cone. And finally, he made the prudent decision to cancel an Alaskan Fishing trip.
Marcia S. was $6 happy for the 6 years in Rotary. She stated that is has been a great experience.
Marlene W. is $5 happy for her 5 years in Rotary.
Barbara H. is $5 happy for the Rice Bagging experience and the social at Richard C. Frame shop.
Art was $5 sad as he reflected on former member Calvin Shindo's passing. He provided a brief history of Calvin's life and remembers him fondly.
Virginia and Bob J. are $5 happy to get lychee from one of the biggest lychee trees that is on their property and $5 sad because a neighbors pig wandered onto their property and died. The animal is too big to move. Mary B. jumped in and said that she knows a former Rotarian who specializes in large animal removal/disposal and will send the information to Virginia and Bob.
Junichi N. was $10 happy. He echoed Barbara's sentiments about the rice bagging and welcomed Misaki to the meeting.
Miyuki L. was $10 happy for Misaki joining the meeting and hopes she will join our club. Miyuki also announced that in preparation for her talk next week, she invited us to visit her at the Kinoole Farmer's Market on Saturday between 6 am and 11 am and she will give out complimentary coffee packets. She asks that you bring a coffee mug, hot water, the packets and any addition you like to have in coffee (cream or sugar) with you to the meeting and she will demonstrate how the packet works and we can all enjoy a cup of coffee together.
Chester C. was $10 happy about the social at Richard C. Frame Shop.
Richard C. was happy, he brought 6 bottles of beer to the social and came back with 11 bottles of beer (not empties.)
Lorraine D. was $10 happy. She enjoyed seeing folks in 3D at the rice bagging event and social.
