CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS
President Neveau announced a modification to the new club fundraiser. Each month the club will sell up to 80 tickets for $25 each. At the end of the month, if the Club has sold 50 tickets or more, the club will draw a winning ticket and the prize will be a Paul Harris award. The extra $money will be used to expand the Club’s support of youth scholarships.
Marjorie Lockwood filled in for Jay Eastman, who was still searching for more golf balls and thanked those who had already supported the upcoming golf ball drop. More tickets need to sold, to reach our goal.
Doer of Good Deeds Leader, Janet Drobnich asked everyone to support Abiding Presence Lutheran Church fundraiser for Neighborhood House with ample donations of school supplies.
Don Robinson reminded everyone about the annual Club Golf Outing is scheduled for August 15, 2016 at Pine Trace Golf Club.
Tim Duncan asked everyone to save 29AU16 for the upcoming game between the White Sox and Tigers

SHERIFF
Bryan Barnett extracted $178 for charity from the following perpetrators and collaborators:
Super Sleuth Bryan started by asking if the Daisy had said yes?
(Daisy, Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I'm half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won't be a stylish marriage,
I can't afford a carriage
But you'll look sweet upon the seat
Of a bicycle made for two)
Pianist Paula provided the potential bride’s response by reciting the second chorus
Michael, Michael, here is my answer true
You're half crazy if you think that that will do
If you can't afford a carriage
There won't be any marriage
Cause I'll be switched if I'll get hitched
On a bicycle built for two
Our own “Sherlock Holmes” fined those who had enjoyed English tea, Scottish whisky, a French kiss, complained about the heat, local traffic, road closures or watched a convention. Alan McLellan was fined because President Tom was trying to “Make Rotary Great Again”, Bill Fox for the slogan, “I’m With Herà”. Next up were all the jewelers that he fined for any and all hideous outfits, bedazzled or not. The sheriff also took issues with the growing seasonal problem of “ridiculous promises” like offering donuts with the calories removed or if you were a car dealer. Fined Wayne Hodges for being patriotic and full of hot air and anyone concerned with immigration because we do not want to loose Vito. Our very own crime buster then got carried away with the Tigers now in second place: He fined John Gaber for being the second best Attorney, Tate Vo for being the second best dentist, Time Duncan for being the second best vet, Steve Schettenhelm for being the second best Police Chief, Rhonda Panczyk for being the second best Rotarian, Christine Hage for being the second best Librarian, Linda Eastman for being the second best Eastman, Rodney Hulbert for being this second best friend and Mary Grace McCarter for being his favorite person celebrating a birthday this week.
Last but not least, our own “Maxwell Smart” challenged John Gaber to demonstrate that he was the smartest person in the room. Our own then asked for an appropriate question from the audience. Paul Haig volunteered, “What Russian mathematician invented the “brilliant Cut” diamond?”. John Gaber then mused that Vladimir Putin was taking credit for any and all positive things that ever happened in Russia so the truth must be Putin. In the spirit of the political season that we are about, our Sheriff declared John the winner even though a small and vocal minority challenged that the real correct answer was Marcel Tolkowsky.
