Dear Kiwanians,
Keith opened the meeting.
The Secret Greeter was Bob Mostek!
Vonice (aka Cheney
Outreach) won the 50/50 dollars.
It was Bill Nation’s birthday
- and we sang.
The Pelican draw finally
got done –Margie received it again! It
was dressed up as Little Red Riding Pelican.
The Easter Egg Hunt on April 19th was a big success. The EWU fraternities/sororities brought 2,500
stuffed eggs. So, we now had over 8,500
plastic eggs. Over 400 kids walked away
with around 20 egg’s worth of chocolate each.
Everyone had a great time. Bob
volunteered to run it again next year.
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). We have around 4 paid sponsors to date.
On behalf of the Kiwanis
Club, Keith challenged the CHS leadership (Principal Troy!) for best score
during the golf tournament.
Part 2 of the Kiwanis One Day event is set for May 29
at 5:30 pm at the Cheney Care Center – planting plants.
The Kiwanis Social Outing to the Theater-Dinner is set for May 3rd. The show is “Honestly Now.” If interested, contact Keith.
Cheney Mayfest is set for May 16 from 5-9
pm. Fred will be selling cotton candy at
this event.
Earl, representing the
special Olympics, solicited for support making sandwiches. Fred/Gail volunteered to head up this effort. At least five Kiwanians indicated they would
help out.
The next regular club
meeting is Thursday, May 1st at 5:30 pm.
The next board meeting is
May 5th at 7 am.
Our guest speakers were
the April “Students of the Month”
from Cheney High School. Tim Dykstra and
Joe Hatzinikolis were introduced by Principal Troy Huette. They were selected as representatives of CHS
Future Business Leaders of America (FBLA).
Adam Smith is the club advisor for many years. The club is now the CHS’s largest and most
successful club. Smith won the award for
best advisor in the state. This year, many of the club members competed in 63
events at the regional competition in Spokane Valley. Only the top 5 competitors are invited to
compete at the state level in Seattle.
Then, only the top 3 are invited to compete at the national competition
held this year in Nashville. The CHS
FBLA Club is sending 25 students to nationals this year! First place is usually a cash award or a
scholarship.
Respectfully,
Steve
