Sergeants-At Arms: Larry Sloan and Scott Potucek levied this weeks fines. An unauthorized, but paid nevertheless, Birthday announcement for Steve Conard started the mornings folly. Ron Williams was fined for a radio interview without mention of AMBUCS. Doug Fosss fine exemption status with a new year and a smart-aleck comment turned into a $2 fine. Yours truly fined again (twice) for no newsletter link with last weeks e-mail announcement (oops) and name badges that need to be made and/or corrected (Im behind). Don Grossardt fined for a Jack Mace comment (sorry, I missed the gist of it). Brenda Janda fined for no birthday listed on her annual information sheet. She said that was correct (must have been a geriatric slip). Bill Long, Dan Power, Dane Power and Jim Seitnater also fined for missing information on their annual forms. Rick Mitchell fined for no agenda at this mornings Board Meeting. Doug Foss ratted out the Sergeants for not having put up the banners. He paid (again) as well as the two Sergeants paying.
