DRAWINGS/FINES/HAPPY BUCKS - James Kemper
POT OF GOLD:$73 in the pot and Bob Luitjohan's table had the winning ticket, but Reha drew the 4 of Clubs.  And, I hate to throw my dad under the bus, but did you all know that since he joined Rotary, he has won 3 out of the last 4 pots that have occured since he joined....(maybe I'm a little bitter because we typically sit together and I've only one 1 pot since I've joined Rotary.  He always wins when I'm not sitting at his table.)
 
FINES:

HAPPY BUCKS -
Father Peters - After 10 months, they have finally found a new Catholic leader in Springfield.

Cindy Hartman
St. Joseph's Dietician
 
Cindy gave us a good insight into reading labels and some of the hidden pitfalls that we can fall into when reading nutrition and ingredient labels on products.  The two main things to look at are the serving sizes on the Nutrition Labels and the Hidden Trans Fats in the ingredients lists.
