Kiwanis Club of Cheney Meeting Notes for September 25, 2014


Dear Kiwanians,

Keith opened the meeting.

 

The secret greeter was Gail Pollard, and she identified Bob M as not having shook her hand (he paid a fine).

 

No birthdays or anniversaries to sing about.

 

Jerry Hilton won the dollar draw!   

 

Dues are now past due ($112 person; $56 for spouses).  It is higher this year because the national and district organizations imposed an insurance fee equally an additional $6 per member. 

Roger reported on the rest stop fund-raiser.  We made around $1,000 over two days at one rest stop.  

The InterClub visit to South Hill last Friday was a bust as no one was there at 7 am!

Marge announced Coats for Kids is starting up again.  The new boxes were found at KXLY and now distributed.

The next Board meeting under our new president (Tom) is on October 6 at 7am.  The next regular meeting is October 2nd.  The annual banquet is Friday, October 3rd at Gatto’s ( $16 per person).   40 people have signed up to attend.

Jeri sent around a sign-up sheet to sell Sees candy at the Trading Company in December.

Elizabeth who works at EWU with Eagle Entertainment announced a “Rake a Difference” community care challenge on October 28th at 3 pm.

Mark Shuler, the current Cheney city manager, talked briefly about his career up until now.  Then, he discussed the state of affairs in Cheney, starting with the solid waste program.  Despite saving a lot of money by not going with Spokane County any longer, the state has decided to withhold more money than ever before leaving Cheney a bit short.  As such, many of the city staff positions are unfilled and current staff are pulling double and triple duty (at no extra pay).

 Respectfully, 

Steve
