Tom, our new president opened the meeting to a “good crowd.”
It was Fred and Gail’s daughter’s birthday as well as Tony’s 75th
birthday. We sang twice!
Fred won the dollar draw!
Tom reported on the rest
stop fund-raiser. We made around $1,067 over two days at one rest stop.
Tom also reported that 29
people plus the Lt Governor attended the induction banquet on Friday. He asked for a round of applause for the
outgoing board members.
Marge announced Coats for
Kids is almost done. We need more
donated coats.
Jeri sent around a
sign-up sheet to sell Sees candy at the Trading Company in December again.
Fred recommended that
Kiwanis become a member of the West Plains Chamber of Commerce at $50 per
year. The Board will take it up at the
next meeting.
Marge informed everyone
that the club has 29 members. The club’s
membership goal is to reach 35 this coming year. So, everyone is encouraged to bring a guest. If you do, your name will be entered into a
lottery for $56 later this year.
Tom asked if there would
be any interest in a social meeting in December. Something to keep in mind.
There is a new speaker
responsibility list posted on the bulletin board for everyone to check out. This happened because Board members are not
required to recruit speakers.
Our guest speakers
included Tony Blount. They represented
three organizations: Time of Remembrance, Cheney Junior Rodeo Association, and
the Stars & Stripes, Boots & Spurs Car Club. ToR is a local organization to remember those
Service men and women who died during their service to the country (to include
suicides). It recently donated $30,000
for hotel rooms and meals to eligible survivors in Pasco, WA.
It costs $12,000 to put
on the Junior Rodeo at the Rodeo fairgrounds outside Cheney every August for
5-18 year old kids from around the region.
Wal-Mart and the Kalispiel Indian Tribe are corporate sponsors. They are always looking for more donations.
Respectfully, Steve
