Chelsea Ashcraft could not believe all the neighborly treatment she received recently while recreating on the Kern River.  She received beverage and grub . . . . all on the house! Her benefactors’ generosity was paid forward as Chelsea donated $15 to the BBRC coffers for all the “free food and drink”.
 
Andrew Ozanich was ten dollars giddy because Program Chair, Pete Leveroni, hired Andrew’s company, Benchmark Pest Control, (661) 588-4869, to get rid of some pesky pests, namely opossums. Hoping to further enrich the BBRC war chest, Queen Jackie asked Pete how happy HE was. Pete responded “all my happiness went to Andrew!”
 
President-Elect-Elect, Dr. Jeff Haynes is very proud of his soldier son-in-law, DJ Taylor,  who is graduating on January 24th from the elite U.S. Army Ranger school located at Fort Benning in Georgia. Hooah!!
 
Once again Greg Desme demanded floor time bragging about yet another northern California sports “dynasty”, the San Francisco 49ers. After a few pointed digs at those of us still groveling while supporting southern California teams, Greg intimidatingly threw a ten dollar bill into the hat. Remind us again, Greg, what happened to the SF Giants this year, huhhh?
 
Frank Tripicchio is already showing what a great Breakfast Rotarian he’s going to be by throwing in a 10-spot because he “is happy to be part of BBRC!”
 
And on a final note:  Although she didn’t offer up a happy 5-note, Mary Jo Pasek, having just come off a demoralizing loss by her favorite NFL team, the Minnesota Vikings, MJ commiserated that she has put husband Tom on suicide watch following his beloved Green Bay Packers sound trouncing by the aforementioned 49ers. Wait’ll next year Tom . . . L.A. Chargers / Packers, Superbowl 55!
