Kiwanis Club of Cheney Meeting Notes for April 17 2014


Dear Kiwanians,

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

Bob Mostek won the 50/50 dollars. The quarter draw went to Ed Yarwood who quickly donated it to Cheney Outreach.

The Easter Egg Hunt is scheduled for April 19th .  We now have 6,000 plastic eggs.  The Cheney Care Center folks have stuffed the eggs with candy.  Two EWU fraternities will also be assisting for this event.  We 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.  The weather report is for clouds.

I reported that the Golf Tournament 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! 

On behalf of the Kiwanis Club, Keith challenged the CHS leadership (VP Jeff!) for best score during the golf tournament.

Part 2 of the Kiwanis One Day event is set for the evening of May 29 at the Cheney Care Center – planting plants.

Ed noted that the next InterClub event was visiting the Medical Lake Kiwanis Club on April 23 at 6:30 am (Ed, Jeri, Tony, and Bob to attend).

The Kiwanis Social Outing to the Theater-Dinner is set for May 3rd.  If interested, contact Keith.

The next board meeting is May 5th at 7 am.

Our first guest speakers were the March “Students of the Month” from Cheney High School.  Kalyn and Anastasia were introduced by Vice Principal Jeff.  They were selected to represent the CHS Future Career and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) which has done well in regional, state, and national competitions!  The Club does job training, recycling design, business work, etc.  It also does an annual community service event.  Last year it was to support the March of Dimes.  This year it is supporting the Share a String program.

Our second guest speaker was introduced by Dave Daugherty.  It was Keith Fauerso, the Executive Director of the Cheney Care Center.  Keith gave us a sales pitch hoping that other members besides Dave would soon move in.  The CCC offers assisted living, senior medical services, and retirement housing.

Duplex apartments are around 1,500 square feet and Triplex apartments are 860 square feet.

To join CCC costs $250, and monthly fees are $425 per person, or $450 per couple.

Keith passed out very professional brochure folders to everyone.  He noted that the CCC is the 4th largest employer in Cheney, and it receives the highest ratings from state inspections.

Our next meeting is April 24th.

Respectfully, 

Steve
