Bruce
Dennie introduced Leonard Padilla, world famous bounty hunter. Leonard
has had a very exciting career capturing over 4000 fugitives in the
past 33 years, only missing 10-12.
Leonard was born in Firebaugh and travelled with his family up and down
the state finally graduating from Tule Lake High School. He joined the
airforce, earned a law degree and began bounty hunting. He founded the
Lorenzo Patino Law School.
Leonard provided some interesting
information about the bail bond industry and how the system works.
Bounty hunters work with law enforcement in a cooperative effort
to apprehend fugitives. Leonard has travelled throughout the US and
overseas pursuing people who have jumped bail.
Leonard
answered questions from members and guests with some great insights
about his work and his working environment. Leonard provided
background on the bail bond industry and explained how most of his
family have been in the bail bond industry at some point. He also
provided some of the back story about the television series Bounty
Hunter. Leonard explained that bounty hunting outside of the
Unitied States is much more difficult unless you know and understand
the rules and laws of the country you are working in.
Happy Bucks
Brad VS had
a sad dollar for the fact that the Yolo AeroSquadron Insurance
authority has limited Brad's solo flying opportunity suggesting that he
is now an observer most of the time.

Reiff presented the Past, Present, and Future of the Woodland Community
Interact Club. She began with a history of Interact International
followed by a brief history of the local club. Over the past five
years, the membership has grown from 5 to 30. They started meeting at
Steve Venables office and now have almost outgrown the space at the
REMAX Center (is this the new sports complex in town). The club is
active locally with the number of projects growing from one or two to a
list of 20 different events during the year.
After Savanah's overview, Katie and Taryn provided a report on Camp
Royal 2008. The program began with ice breaker activities and stress
relief strategies. Participants focused on personalities and how they
are incharge of themselves and their actions. One quote that was
memorable was "Don't follow a path, blaze a trail"- Dr. Robbi Dobson.
Both girls reported that the Ropes Course was one of their favorite
experiences. Through the various activities, participants learned to
trust others and to work as a team. Both girls shared that this was a
life changing experience. They were told this at the start of Camp
Royal but it really came home to them through the activities that they
participated in.
The interacters concluded their presentations by thanking the members for all of their support.
