November
24, 2009 Meeting
Announcements
Bob
Nelson: I would like to thanks all those who helped with the
Thanksgiving baskets yesterday and on Friday. I would also like to thank
those that have made a donation to help fund this project. We have not yet
covered our expenses so it is not too late to help.
The
Youth Services
Committee will meet here on Thursday, Dec 3rd at 11:30am.
Bill
Maher: A reminder the Christmas party which will be here at the
Eagles on Friday, Dec 18 at 6:00pm. Sign-up sheets are on the tables or call
me at 627-8131.
I received
thank you letters from many of the third graders at Gier Park School for the
dictionaries Norm and I delivered there a couple of weeks ago. I will pass
them around, you will enjoy reading them.
Carla
Johnston: We have some time today so I would like to read an
internet story brought to my attention. The story is about Monopoly sets
included in Red Cross packages for British POW's having secret silk maps
hidden in the game pieces. The game sets also included real currency inside
the fake money, small magnetic compasses and a two piece metal file.
You can read more about this
here
.
I am happy
to report we have another application for membership. (I will have her name
next week but if you are not a native of Wacousta you may have to consult
Lance Lynch for the correct pronunciation.) This will be our fifth new
member since the beginning of the Kiwanis calendar year in October.
The Board
of Directors will meet at noon next Tuesday at Grumpy's.
Songs
Roger
Grove, with the support of Clyde at the piano, led the singing of "Amazing
Grace" and ""Prayer of Thanksgiving". Roger also related the interesting
story of the origin of "Amazing Grace."
Happy
Bucks
Bill Maher,
a happy buck for some Larry the Cable Guy humor.
Jo Grubbe,
a happy buck for Thanksgiving and a successful week of Texas Hold 'em.
Carla
Johnston, a happy buck for the members that showed up today prior to
Thanksgiving and for the great lunches Debbie has been providing here at the
Eagles.
Roger
Grove, a happy buck since I have removed the last piece of furniture
from my office.
Program
Greg
Hagbom, November program chairman, had his scheduled speaker cancel this
week so he came up with a substitution... himself. Greg very ably explained
the new laws effecting IRA's and other investments as well as fielding
investment questions from members.
Pot
Winner
This
week's Pot winner was Dr. Clyde Flory. No joker.
