Sgt. at arms: Par & Dan subbed for Greenlee/Hernandez. Perhaps a fine is in order for the missing Sergeants? Dan advised us to write the full year (2020) to avoid fraud when writing checks and dating documents. Not sure how this was relevant to Sgt.. Birthday folks spun the Wheel and paid their dues. The Wheel was spun one more time to fine the entire club. Happy bucks abounded!
