Dear Kiwanians,
Keith opened the meeting.
The Secret Greeter was Vonice (yet again)!
I was sitting close to her,but not right next to her as in the past.
Vonice (aka Cheney
Outreach) won the 50/50 dollars (yet again!)
It was Kirk’s 64th
birthday - and we sang (with vigor!).
The Easter Egg Hunt on April 19th was a big success. However, we expended $306 on various
items. On the other hand, we collected
$112 in donations during the event!
I reported that the Golf Tournament is scheduled for
Saturday, June 7. Roger made up several
posters to be disseminated by myself and Fred.
I took a couple to the golf course and to the Cheney Federal Credit
Union, which is the event corporate sponsor. I
passed around a sign-up sheet for volunteers on the day of the event (only
three signed up!).
Part 2 of the Kiwanis One Day event is set for May 29
at 5:30 pm at the Cheney Care Center – planting flowers.
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 as a fundraiser and membership drive. Volunteers are still needed.
Fred and the Kiwanis Club
will also be selling cotton candy during the Rodeo Day Parade on Saturday, July
12th. Volunteers still needed
for that, as well.
Our participation in the
Interclub event is on May 27 at 7 am with the Kiwanis Club in Millwood.
There is a pizza party
planned for May 22nd at 4:30 pm at the Cheney Care Center.
Mother’s Day Flower
deliveries are this weekend! See Roger if you are interested in delivering flowers!
Tom reported that the
Board Meeting went as scheduled, though many people forgot to go. In any case, the main issue under discussion
is reverting the first meeting of the month back to a morning meeting as very
few people are attending at night….
The next regular club
meeting is Thursday, May 15th at 5:30 pm.
Keith reminded everyone that the meeting on May 22nd will be
only about Child Protection Guidelines. Everyone
needs to attend!
Our guest speaker was Deb
Clements, the Cheney School District Superintendent. Deb was there to talk about the new school
building plans coming up over the next few years, beginning with the Cheney
High School (CHS). In March, the school district had 4,028 students – which is
almost exactly what was projected. CHS
had over 1,200 students (270 in the graduating class). The high school has no performing arts center,
and the cafeteria is far too small. So,
starting in 2015, building will begin to expand the high school significantly.
Respectfully,
Steve
