RAMONE AND RENE are ready to serve up breakfast.  Treasurer Pat and Ticketmaster Collin are trying to balance the books.

VISITING ROTARIANS, introduced by Secretary Chris, were Karl Voightshergen [who failed to list his classification] from the Plano West Rotary Club, David Rippel [Lawyer] from Plano West Rotary Club, Doyle Dean [Education-Senior High] from the Plano Rotary Club, and Billy Meeks [PI] from the Plano Metro Rotary Club.  David and Billy were fined two-bits for not having their Rotary pins on.

GUEST OF BUD McBRAYER was Jennifer Smith from the Automotive Industry, who donated a big ticket auto item for the Oktoberfest Auction.

GUEST OF JUERGEN MAHNEKE was Michael McMahon who is the Captain of the Catamaran Chamonix II <LINK> which is based on Lake Lewisville.  Juergen was fined for failing to get a Visiting Guest card filled out for Michael, who donated a big ticket ride on the Cat for the Oktoberfest Auction.

ABSENT WERE Steve Blair, Matt Brown, Reeves Davis, Ray Hopper, Ken Lambert, John Payton, Robert Possner, Doug Ray, Greg Rushin and Jane Wyen.

SECRETARY CHRIS was fined two bits for a long convoluted tail about the Oktoberfest Committed working really long hours at Judy's house preparing the Auction Items.  There was a problem with Chairthing Randy Plumlee snoring too loudly for any of the other guys to catch a few winks.

RUDELY LEAVING EARLY was Shep Stahel at 7:25 am.

RUDELY COMING IN LATE at 7:32 am was Richard Wells.

POLITELY STAYING FOR THE WHOLE MEETING was Hunter Hanks.

ROTOPIG HAS RETURNED! Private Investigator Billy Meeks tracked him down with the help of an anonymous email to his cell phone during the meeting saying ROTOPIG and his new girl friend could be found behind the counter. VOILA! There they were. Warner Richeson had seen ROTOPIG at the State Fair of Texas hobnobbing with a 2000 pound porker from Iowa. But in the end it was "Pinkie" who stole his heart. Custody of ROTOPIG and PINKIE was give to President Richard.

THERE WAS NO REGULAR PROGRAM TODAY. Instead Oktoberfest Chairthing Randy and Auction Queen Judy conducted information and training sessions for all the workers.
