Sergeant Jeff New created some forced philanthropy today with fines ranging from Dave Gunn’s informal attire at meetings to Jim Rieckhoff’s being PRESENT at a meeting that he was actually supposed to miss (thus forcing Jeff to be sergeant today!). Connie Caiceros was reminded the world doesn’t need any more lawyers (best wishes, Connie J ) and Shan White was welcomed back to the club - - with a fine! All in good fun, and for a good cause!
