Kiwanis Club of Cheney Meeting Notes for February 13 2014

Kiwanis Club of Cheney Meeting Notes for February 13 2014

Dear Kiwanians,

Keith opened the meeting.  The Secret Greeter was Bill Nation.

It was Duane’s wife’s birthday, and he paid not to have us sing.

Duane won the 50/50 dollars.  He donated the money to the Scholarship Fund.

The lucky person receiving the Pelican was me (Steve).  The Keeper of the Pelican cares for it for 2 weeks and relinquishes it by bringing a prospective member to breakfast or pays.

Our first special guest speaker was the Lt Governor Chuck (from South Hill).  He talked about the Division Council Meeting, the Key Club Convention, and Mid-Year Conference in the Tri-Cities (March 22^nd).  Any volunteers willing to participate?

Next are some reminders.  The Easter Hunt is scheduled for April 19^th (Fred, Jim, and Duane)

Roger reminded everyone about who signed up to deliver flowers today and tomorrow for the Valentine Day Flower Delivery.  (For example, George was delivering flowers at 8 am, hence, missed the meeting.)

Keith brought up the “Paint a Helmut” fund raiser at the Spokane Fairgrounds on April 26^th from 9am – 2 pm.  The POC is Dora at (909) 915-5938.

Our guest speaker was Joe Nolan from Cheney’s Power Department. He is the lighting director for the past 29 years.  (Pat Isbell brought him).  Cheney buys 97% of its power needs from the Bonneville Power Administration (since 1930s).  Cheney has 5,200 customers.  Over half of the power generated is from hydropower (ie, dams).  Then, he discussed the Columbia River Basin Treaty with Canada – being reviewed for equity now.

The next meeting on February 20 at 7 am.

Respectfully,

Steve
