Kiwanis Club of Cheney
Meeting Notes for April 10 2014
Dear Kiwanians,
Keith opened the meeting.
The Secret Greeter was Vonice (again!)!
Fortunately, I was sitting with her (again!)
It was also Vonice’s
birthday (but, she insisted we not sing).
Pat won the 50/50 dollars.
The quarter draw went to Toony who doated it to Cheney Outreach.
I presented a Key Club
report. They are supporting both our
Easter Egg Hunt as well as Paint a Helmut at the Fairgrounds (both events in
April).
The Easter Hunt is
scheduled for April 19th . We
now have 6,000 plastic eggs. The Care
Center folks are stuffing the eggs with candy.
Two EWU fraternities will also be assisting for this event. We now have three gift baskets for each of
the 5 age groups (for kids those who find the golden eggs). Helpers should report to Salnave Park at 9
am.
I reported that the Golf
Tournament that we took over from Rotary is now scheduled for Saturday, June 7. It will cost $65 per golfer to include cart
and meal catered by Longhorn BBQ. Chris,
the manager at Fairways Golf Course, said he was interested in running the
event – to include recruiting golfers , marketing and advertisement. Fred Pollard is responsible for collecting
gifts from Cheney merchants, while I am responsible for getting hole sponsors
($70 each). The Cheney Federal Credit
Union agreed to be the Corporate Sponsor of the event again at $500! All the hole signs were delivered to the
Fairways Golf Course.
Roger was recognized as
the “Best in the West” for customer service.
Keith pushed selling
cotton candy at the Rodeo Day Parade on Saturday, July 12, at 11:30. He is looking for 4 pairs of volunteers to
sell the cotton candy.
Kiwanis One Day event is
set for the evening of May 29 – planting plants.
Duane talked up the “Relay
for Life” now being held at the Medial Lake High School on Saturday, May 29
($10 per person).
Tom made a passionate
appeal for new Board members when he assumes the presidency from Keith.
Our first guest speaker
was Earl, who is the director of volunteers for the Special Olympics for
eastern Washington. Every year, around
750 special athletes compete at Roos Field at EWU. This year, the event will be on Saturday, May
3rd. To manage this event,
there are 200-250 volunteers (to include from CHS and EWU). Earl appealed to Kiwanis Club to help make
the lunches on Saturday morning. Members
believed that Gail Pollard was our POC (probably because she wasn’t at the
meeting!).
Our second guest speaker
was Earl’s wife, Bonnie. Bonnie founded “Friends
Across Cheney Equal (FACE). FACE deals
with special needs adults. It is part of
the city Parks & Recreation Department.
Our next meeting is April
17th.
Respectfully,
Steve
