Guests
Charlene
Shumaker and 4 members from the Eaton Rapids Club were inter-club guests
today.
The Noon
News
You can
only get it here. Nicholas had an update on the Minnesota man who was
arrested for driving his motorized La-Z-Boy chair while intoxicated. Turns
out it was not a La-Z-Boy and is now up for auction as the DWI chair. The
weather... colder, then warmer, or was it the other way around. Better check
with Nicholas on channel 10.
Announcements
Carla
Johnston: We have on the tables a program interest survey to
find what programs you are interested in. Please fill it out, this will be
helpful information for the monthly program chairs. We still need volunteers
to fill several months to complete the schedule for next year.
Lance
Lynch: For a number of years we have tried to help the Salvation
Army out during the holiday season. I would like us to continue doing that
and I will match Club donations up to $500 again this year. I can do that
again because I know I am not going to the Rose Bowl this year. We will have
the kettle out, I hope you can help.
Bob
Nelson: Several members have donated money to cover the
Thanksgiving basket expense. We would appreciate help from all of you.
Alex
Norton will be helping us out with the Thanksgiving baskets by picking up
the turkeys and trimmings at the L&L Food Center with the Salvation Army
truck on Friday, Nov 20 at 8:30am and taking them to Otto School. On the
tables are signup sheets. We need 2-3 people to help with the truck on
Friday and 3 people at 7:30am on Monday to help Terry Holzhausen load his
truck at Otto School. We need 6 people at Hildebrandt at 8:00am and 6 people
at LaRoy Froh at 10:am on Monday to assemble baskets. Sign up please.

President, signed by Gen. James Doolittle and Gen. William Westmoreland, to
Harold Krauss for his service to our country during the period 1941 to 1945.
Clarence
Smith: When delivering dictionaries take your camera with you,
take a few pictures. I would like to use them to get us some publicity for
our Club and this project.

Nicholas
Ferreri: Jim McCartney joined me at the Eastern Key Club meeting
yesterday and we awarded the first Key Club Member of the Month. The kids
were excited about it and I hope more of you can join us there next month.
Songs
No piano
did not deter Roger Grove from leading the singing of "Hail Hail the Gangs
All Here" and "On Kiwanis."
Happy
Bucks
Larry
Pingel, I have a happy buck for a comment. I am wondering how many of
you know there is a 'no turn on red' sign at the corner of Grand River and
MLK. Last week the car ahead of me, driven by a former police chief, turned
right on red.
Ray
Easton, I have a happy buck for Granger and another for the BWL for our
partnership in providing renewable power.
Bob
Nelson, I have a happy buck for Alex and Terry who are helping us with
our Thanksgiving project. We need lots of help, I hope you all sign up.
Jim
McCartney, I have a happy buck for the fun Bob Holden and I had
delivering dictionaries at Cumberland School. A librarian was already
utilizing a dictionary as we were leaving. Another buck to be with Nicholas
yesterday at Eastern High School, there were 24 kids at the Key Club
meeting. Joel their supervisor does a wonderful job.
Ev Beemer,
a happy buck because I will be heading to Florida next week and a unhappy
buck because I won't see you guys for 6 months.
Roger
Grove, a happy buck for divine intervention... I just passed all my
continuing education exams.
