BRAGS:
Frank Ortiz (Weekly Rotarian of the Century), bragged on all the members who attended the Celebrate Philanthropy Luncheon, where Frank and Scottie were honored for all their service to the community. Frank said it was a very humbling experience. In honor of the event he wanted to donate $250 to the Rotary Polio Plus Program.
Craig Bernard: (Weekly Rotarian of the Decade), bragged on getting back from a wonderful trip to Figi and New Zealand. He went by the island where they shot the Tom Hanks movie, Cast Away. He also gave a lot of facts and information about New Zealand. Given his wealth of knowledge, it seems that he might be applying to work for their Chamber of Commerce. Even though he had a free brag coming, he bragged $100.
