On Wednesday, January 5th, Rachel Woods rang the bell to bring the meeting to order. Guests were introduced, included Kristina Ymker, guest of Amanda Bechen, and Karen Schneider, guest of Kathy Henke. Pastor Bill led the group in prayer.

Karen Schneider was kind enough to play piano in the absence of Pastor Laurie. Songmaster Kathe Henke chose "Auld Lang Syne" and "R-O-T-A-R-Y" as this weeks songs.

Craig Krsnak gave the Rotary Minute for Ken Cotton, which discussed the use of prayer in different clubs around the world.

Sergeant of Arms Jerry Weber was back in action, levying the following fines:

-Bryan Slaba, $5 for selling himself a winning ticket last week

-Ken Cotton, $2 for being the program chair last week, but not showing up

-Kathe and Jerry Henke, $1 each, for their guest Karen's license plate (PAR72)

-Bill Frei, originally $2 for an inappropriate comment to his wife and the club regarding his recent trip to Mexico (however Bill offered up a $13 fine instead)

-Jerry then fined everyone present $2, with a chance to earn $2 credit with correct answers regarding the Rotary float in the Rose Bowl Parade. Gerrit Juffer, Rachel Woods, Kathe Henke and Pastor Bill all answered questions correctly to earn their $2 credits.

-Bryan Slaba - $5 fine for not "hitting up" Rotarians for funds to donate to said Rotary float
