On August 25th, fourteen Rotarians met at the American Legion to enjoy another buffet luncheon catered by Delicate Decadence. The first fines of the day were levied on Doug and Lindsey for eating before the ringing of the bell. When the defense of being an Honorary Member and not subject to fines didn’t hold up, Doug paid the fine. Lindsey paid hers without protest. Eddie was accused and noted that he had his food, but had not eaten it until after the rituals had been completed. Karl proposed a fine for those who had not seen the picture on FaceBook of Doug’s granddaughter, Bianca, with the World Trade Center in the background. Without any defense offered, the fine passed. George gave a Happy Dollar because Lindsey was honest in admitting that she had started eating before the bell had rung.

Lindsey reported on our brunch event, as part of the Barre Fall Festival, which will take place at the Granite Museum between 11-2 on Saturday, October 2nd. Two breweries will be pouring beer for tasting, Delicate Decadence will provide food and members of Kiwanis will assist. Marketing is in the works.

Karl reported that almost all of the thirty volunteer slots for the Barre Art Splash have been filled. After announcing that he needed another team for placing signs, Eddie and Tony stepped up to the plate.
