October 8, 2015 meeting:  Our speaker was from the Spokane Regional Clean Air Agency.  This is a government sponsored organization that was formed in the late 1960's to administer federal, state and local clean air regulations.  They have a staff of 18 and issue about 40-50 permits a year for new businesses.  The staff includes 5 inspectors who inspect over 600 facilities and 200 gas stations.  There are also 2 staff member who do the air monitoring and when we had poor air quality due to the wildfires in the state, the agency's web site was accessed by over 62,000 people.


We also discussed the schedule for Kiwanis participation at the EWU Harvest Festival and asked for club liaisons to our Key Club and K-Kids groups.
