Happy/Sad Dollars:

Miguel: Was happy this morning because

after 12 years working for the Department of

Labor he tendered his resignation and is

starting his own shop as a consultant working

with business’s in the Valley. I’m certain he

will be a great success!

Stephanie: She was very happy with the

Packer’s win this weekend and for some

really awesome games!

Ken: Was happy that the football games were

exciting and as a part owner of the Green Bay

Packer’s he was happy that his team won! He

was also happy to have been with his

daughter in Paso Robles this past weekend to

celebrate her 40th birthday.

Roxy: Was happy that she is transitioning

from residential real estate to commercial real

estate and her office will be in Ontario. She

already has two listings!

Vern: Liked the football games this past

weekend and thought the Governor’s visit

was well attended (at least better than he

thought it would be). Said he liked the new

governor and hopes he does well. He is

already better than his predecessor because he

actually came to the district!

Gloria: Wanted the members to be aware of a

new program in the district that she is very

happy with. Student’s from USC are on

campus all semester working with student’s

looking for college. They work with HS

students on college applications, scholarships

and just choosing a college to attend.

Con’t on next Page

Andres and Brad with Governor Pete and Rona.

Andres Discusses the Governor’s Plans!

Today Andres talked about the governor’s visit and the

programs he is promoting. He is very concerned about the Rose

Float now that International is not supporting it with the

$60,000. Paul added that he had a great picture of Cindy and

Vicky from a prior year working on the float with their kester in

the air while working in the crotch of the Teddy Bear. Andres

talked about the 1st Lady’s project which is feeding those who

are hungry at school. Rob suggested that the district follow up

and have their Director of Nutrition Services talk to the group

about what is already being done and how the club could

implement a program. Paul also asked if someone in the club

could assist in creating a doll of the Pixie logo the governor was

using.

Andres Starting the Celebration!

Happy/Sad Dollars Con’t

Rob: Was happy that it was not raining and that he was able to sit at table with other members and

not be banished to the “Timeout” table.

Mary; Was very happy with the progress her husband is making with his new treatment and

medicines. He is stronger and is making great progress!

Denise: Was just Happy! She is selling her old 2014 fully loaded Cadillac and wanted to get the

word out. I think she even mentioned a nice commission!

Pat: Was really happy that it wasn’t raining although she knows we need more rain.

Paul: Had some “Sappy” (Sad/Happy) dollars because he was able to get some backyard projects

done this last weekend with rain. He also thought the Governor’s visit was successful and happy

with the turnout but he was sad that there were only two Distinguished Kiwanis awards handed out.

Andres: He was sad that he missed a lot of football this weekend because he was painting the last

supper in his kids room. Maybe not the Last Supper but he had a lot of plaster repair during the

process. He was also happy with the governor’s visit.
