Mike Oates isn’t desperate yet (though he will be next week), but again the plea is cried once again for beds for the remaining exchange students needed for the 23^rd and 24^th of this month.

A Presidential Citation was awarded to Wally on behalf of the Fullerton Rotary Club. The citation was given to Fullerton Rotary for Creating Awareness and Taking Action. It was presented to Wally by incoming President Bill Peloquin on behalf of Rotary International President, Frank Devlyn.

Greg Franklin announced that $3,500 was raised recently for the Fullerton High School Music Program.

LeRoy Fulton asked the outgoing board members (the good guys!) to stand and be recognized and then introduced the incoming board members (the good looking guys!). Leroy was careful not to paint the outgoing board members with the same brush Evil, Wicked, Mean, Bad & Nasty Prez Wally has recently been painted with. (Hurry up Dr. Bill… we can’t hold out much longer!) Contact Wally to participate in the lynching on the evening of June 27^th. (The good-guy outgoing board members are Tony Amato, Bill Mathy, and Mark McGee. The good-looking incoming board members are Chris Fraschetti, Terri Grassi, and Bob Savage)

Jim Armstrong inducted the world’s newest Rotarian, James Ko, into Fullerton Rotary. James was introduced by his sponsor, Ronnie Hewett. James is a herbologist and an acupuncturist with a degree from USC. He was acquainted with Rotary by his daughter’s participation in two Top 100 dinners. His wife, Christine (a pharmacist from Walgreen’s) attended his induction. Welcome, JamesRotarian of the Week honors went to Greg Dyment. Greg rescued the President’s bell that had been missing since our remote meeting at the Fullerton Arboretum last week.RecognitionSergeant-Major Dr. Jim

Blackburn recognized all members who still had teams in the NCAA CWS baseball tournament. Only Stanford and CAL-STATE FULLERTON alumnae were present. (although there were several two finger salutes made by the USC contingent (Ronnie Hewett’s University of South Carolina, excluded). Bill Gorman was recognized for a photo of him in an Anaheim Jets Uniform. Bob McNutt paid $10 for a photo of him, flight ready, after taking a shooter test. He paid the fine even though he didn’t remember the event he was participating in. Debra Koff feigned embarrassment but beamed with pride as she accepted a fine for her daughter’s membership in three honor societies and a scholarship to CAL-STATE FULLERTON! Rotogram Reporter ace Buck Catlin was fined for his delicate description of the object of the T-shirt auctioned off last week by Jim Blackburn. Buck’s fine was covered by the Rotagram blanket protection liability policy that protects the staff when it is forced to go places that only Blackburn’s oratory can go. Dean Heiser was recognized for his birthday version 6.9. Chris Fraschetti was recognized for spouse Bob’s birthday. Carolyn Tormey was recognized for her birthday. Harry Brown was recognized for lovely Helen’s recent birthday. Dr. Jack Warner celebrated a belated fine for his May 17^th Birthday. Bill Peloquin paid for his 63^rd birthday later on this month. Ray Hansen was fined $100 payable in Deutsch marks for his birthday. Lee Myhre happily paid the fine for his and Jackie’s 50^th wedding anniversary. Nearly as happy was Dick Rocke, who was recognized for his and wife Lelia’s 42^nd anniversary.Raffle.

Wally pulled # 9461…#9460…#9430 until he finally pulled #6638 and let Ed Little have a chance at the $50 prize. Ed lost.

Buena Park Rotary President Ed Marks managed to present an absolutely fabulous program on a complicated subject: Faults, Fossils and Earthquakes. Ed described how geological and manmade inconsistencies of the land can effect building and development.

Next Week: Airline Pilot Mike Blackstone
Then it's the end for Wally on the 27th
