We all thanked Dwyane and Amy Brown for the Rotary Fellowship held at Slate Architecture the night before. Matt shared the story of how he and Acting President Susan Thomas were the last ones to stumble out of the Fellowship. Matt gave an update on Kent Templien's situation. We welcomed Rotarians Larry Johansen and Don Swanson, both visiting from Downtown Rotary. Bob Kully introduced his guests Caren Woodruff, Carolyn Diamond, Jean McGill and Jess Page. Karin Lombard introduced her guests Allie Knouse and our speaker for the day, Julie Shrader. Red Badge members were recognized. A number of Rotarians had good news. Matt was fined for a Bitcoin article from Nizar Mamdani. Mike Morey was fined for an article about Raymond James Morey-Vorhees Financial Services. Matt fined anyone not wearing a Rotary pin, but any Rotarian who attended the Rotary Fellowship was off the hook. Matt told another joke from the bar in North Bend: "Beer: When the event is just too fine for champagne."
