February 26, 2009 Meeting

Visiting today was Ashley Malmsten, Governor of the Michigan District Circle K International, Eve Cummings from the MSU Circle K, as well as eight members of the Eastern High School Key Club including their Officers and Advisor Joe Lubick..

 Announcements

Joe Grubbe: I attended the Feb 19^th Lansing Sesquicentennial Committee meeting. Our involvement will be one day on Labor Day weekend in the Arts and Crafts tent. The South Lansing Kiwanis Club will be joining us in this activity and we will probably bring in some youth from other organizations such as the Key Clubs to assist as well. More details to come.

Bill Maher: There are again sign-up sheets on the tables for those that can help at the Rummage Sale on Saturday, March 7, at the Faith United Methodist Church, 4301 S Waverly Road. The sale starts at 9:00am and items can be brought to the church on Thursday and Friday of that week from 11:00am to 2:00pm and also after 5:00pm.

This is the second announcement of the application for membership from Susan Devon. Susan is with the Board of Water and Light and her application will be taken up at our

Board of Directors meeting next Tuesday.

Bob Nelson: Carla has raised $1,000 for Kids Against Hunger on April 4 when Kiwanis Clubs in Mid-Michigan will be assembling and shipping 50,000 nutritious meals. A sheet is going around asking for your donation for this event.

On Friday, March 6, South Lansing Kiwanis is having a super inter-club. They meet at the Flapjack Restaurant on S Cedar at 7:30am. Lou, Harold and I are planning to attend, others are welcome.

I will be interviewed next Wednesday morning at 7:30am on WILS regarding the Rummage Sale.

The Noon News with Nicholas Ferreri

You can only get it here… like the story of a balsamic vinegar thief in Bend, Oregon, and how the birds and the bees are explained in the electronic age, followed by the weather forecast of heavy rain tonight and colder and maybe a bit of snow on Friday.

Songs

Lots of quacking and oinking going on with Bill Maher bravely leading “Old McDonald had a Farm.” Comments were heard after the meeting that Greg Hagbom may have ‘moo mooed’ when he should have ‘oink oinked.’

Happy Bucks

Larry Pingel, a happy buck for Bill Maher for keeping us just a little outside our comfort zone.

Chuck Reifsnyder, another happy buck for my granddaughter Jordyn, who won first place at the Tyson International Gymnastic meet in Chicago on Sunday. You all saw the article in the LSJ on Tuesday, it was in all the national newspapers on Monday and covered live on NBC on Sunday. If you google Jordyn Weiber you will get 16,400 results! It must be the genes.

Bob Nelson, a happy buck for the Key Club members who will be helping us at Kids Against Hunger in April 4.

Jim Kost, I have 2 happy bucks for the MSU Circle K Club and the Eastern Key Club, I am a graduate of both Eastern and MSU.

Rich Librizzi, I have 2 happy bucks for my twin grandson’s who will be 7 next week.

Clarence Smith, 2 happy bucks, one for our Key Club and another for the Circle K, great to have you here.

Ray Easton, a happy buck for my daughter who recently presented us with a granddaughter.

Nicholas Ferreri, a happy buck for our Key Clubbers and the Circle K and for Chuck’s granddaughter, Jordyn, who everyone was watching at the station (NBC) on Sunday.

Program

Nicholas Ferreri led the Key Club and Circle K members in a discussion of their activities and plans.

Pot Winner

Without ever leaving his seat to perform on the vault, uneven bars or balance beam, Chuck Reifsnyder won the Pot. He drew the Ace of Clubs… only a few cards left.
