Happy Dollars $ generously given by:
Carolyn Ottenbreit for pillow cases sewn for Newton Medical Center by Kittatinny Interact Students.
Mike Hanifan for 1st Pope John Interact.
John Frank for attendance at our new location at the Spring Street Pub & Grill and for his granddaughter, Sydney, who got a part in a play playing a swamp princess.
Jim Ferguson for his first meeting as a Rotarian.
Laura Camp for her letter to the editor regarding a person who wrote to the paper about his trip to the emergency room and the emergency person comforted him by saying “don’t worry, we won’t drop you” That person turned out to be our own, Carl Lazzaro.
Carl Lazzaro gave an unhappy dollar because he went to Newton Town Hall to request Rotarians be exempt from the parking fee but the town parking authority declined the request.
Steve Wescott for Gary LaFranco for accepting an invitation to Facebook.
John Kuzzo because there are over 100 kids in the Aladdin Jr. High School Show.
Mark Hontz for another kid’s show, “Once Upon a Mattress”. The kids really liven up the show.

Picture Fines:
Helen Wescott for a picture of her Chef son at Sussex County Votec who did Ice Carving at the New Skylands Ice World Show running all of February.
Carolyn Ottenbreit and Barbara Wortmann for Charles’s encouragement of kids entering Rotary from Rotaract.
Carl Lazzaro nudged to pay for “non” picture in an obituary notice. LOL…
