Sergeant at Arms: Jeff Chipokas took happy dollars from:
Bob Sutherland who went to the Lima Bean Festival in Cape May, N.J.;
Manny because he had a great time in Greece and Turkey;
Jennifer Merrill because her niece and nephew were closing on a house today;
John Aresta because he was at the Garlic Festival in Bethlehem this week and will be at the wine stomping this week;
Rebecca because her son is visiting Finland and Holland.
Jeff then fined John Ford, Duncan Stephens, Joe DaSilva and Milt Grele.
The general fine was for all those who did not attend the Lima Bean Festival.
