Announcements
Rick Librizzi: Sept 10th is a significant day in my life, 49 years ago today Mrs. Librizzi decided to marry me. Congratulations to the Librizzi's!
Clarence Smith: As you know Bob Holden is in charge of program chairmen for the
next year and he is having a difficult time getting all the months filled. They should all be done by Oct 1st and there
are still several months open including November. We also need program chairmen for May, June,
July and Sept. The sign-up sheet is available again today,
if we don't get it filled we may have to roll the dice at the next Board
meeting.
We had a beautiful day at the Laborfest on Saturday and made
lots of kids happy with the activities provided by the area Kiwanis Clubs. The Kiwanis name was prominently displayed on
the signs provided by Jeff Lorencin and I would like to thank all who came down
and helped.
Dennis Churchill presented a check for $250 to Salvation
Army Capt Brian Davis for the chapel renovation at their facility on

Songs
The talented people were back today, Roger Grove and Clyde Flory, leading the singing
of "God Bless Our Native Land" and "Grand Old Flag."
Happy Bucks
Bob Nelson, a happy buck for those who helped Saturday at the
Lansing 150 LaborFest and also for those helping at Tripper's Texas Hold 'em.
With the money wheel Saturday we now have the kids interested in gambling. Our next Texas Hold 'em dates are Nov 23, 24
and 25.
Roger Grove, this first happy buck is to help the patients of the
mentally impaired and the second one if for the knee replacement I had a month
ago. My doctor was Brian McCardel, who
did a great job and it's nice to be walking around.
Dennis Churchill, I have a happy buck, one that I won at the
Bellagio in
Bill Maher, I have an inquisitive dollar for Roger, my wife also
goes to Dr McCardel and she has 3 or 4 appointments a week.
Jo Grubbe, a hallelujah dollar for the completion of the
LaborFest. Clarence and I attended many
meetings over many
months. We all had a great time, the
money wheel was the most popular thing we did and making bracelets was next.
Program
Dennis Churchill was program chairman for
this week and introduced speaker Capt Brian Davis from the Salvation Army. Capt Davis commented on his background, his
work as administrator and pastor at their
Pot Winner
Bill Maher said it was only fitting, since he
won a lot of money from Glenn Mulder on the golf course Wednesday, that Glenn
was the Pot winner today. Glenn's draw... a 9 of Clubs.
