Kiwanigram: Dec. 18, 2013

PREZ “Cul” had John PIPES  lead the pledge; and Adolph HELGESON gave a fine invocation. We had a very good lunch provided by Debbie SOHL.  Adolph HELGESON reported how well the “Celebration Of Life” for Si & Mary BRUMBAUGH went; and stated that over 400 were in attendance. Very good!!!  

Everyone will be pretty busy visiting with relatives and friends for Christmas and the New Year; so season’s greetings to everyone!!! 

Dale CHAMBERLAIN was our “Finemaster” today; and he managed to grab a dollar from everyone, except Debbie SOHL who brought us a fantastic lunch.The raffle today was won by John PIPES, and he pulled out a $5 White Chip.  Therefore, John PIPES will be the “Finemaster” at our next meeting. 

During a short Board Of Director’s meeting, we approved $100 for the “Salvation Army: $50 for “BSA Troop #108”; $20 for the “Nutrition Center’s Coffee Fund”; and $10 for “Miracle Mile Of Quarters”. 

Debbie SOHL advised that anyone who will be working or being with kids should register to take the “YOUTH PROTECTION TRAINING”, which is provided by “Kiwanis-One” on the computer. More info will be provided at our next club meeting.

NOTICE:  We will have “Round Table” in place of our January 1st meeting, because it is a holiday.  Just call or E-Mail Debbie SOHL so she can check you off on her Attendance Sheet as a “Round Table”.    We will be looking forward to seeing all of you in attendance in all our future meetings.  Let’s see what we can do to get some new members and build up our fine club.

The next meeting will be held on January 15th. That’s Board Of Directors meeting day; so be there to approve some important Kiwanis business and support your club’s activities.  It is also Division Council Meeting day; so, let’s send at least one member to that meeting.  Start the new year off right and make a concerted effort to attend the meetings regularly.  We need everyone’s enthusiastic support!
