| Quote of the Week | |
"Merry Christmas; even the fuzz is here!"
- Santa Claus' quote upon seeing Quincy Assistant Police Chief Ron Dryer as he made his way to the stage. Santa was on his "A" game last week and shared a great line with every child as he handed out gifts. |
| A Point to Ponder |
My thanks to Paul Niemann for sharing these points to ponder: If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled? If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia, would you get a Philip's Screwdriver? What do you do when you see an endangered animal eating an endangered plant? Do Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"? How do you tell when you run out of invisible ink? If someone with multiple personalities threatens to kill himself, is it considered a hostage situation? If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose? |

| This Friday | |
 An update on the Great River Honor Flight. Last time we heard from this great organization, they were setting the foundation. Now, with four flights under their belt, we welcome back our own Carlos Fernandez to tell us how many veterans they have served, what they've learned, and what the future brings. We should all be grateful to Carlos and WGEM for their outstanding leadership on this great cause. Good stuff. See you Friday for Quincy's Finest Hour!

A pleasure to host the 48th Annual Hearing Impaired Christmas Party. A nice gathering of Exchangites on hand to watch the $500 check presentation, the Christmas play "Christmas Around the World" performed by the kids, and then a visit from the Jolly Old Man himself. Hearing Impaired Program Director Katie Stegner accepting the check and telling us that our donation allows the kids to have opportunities and experiences that might otherwise not be possible. Hats off to Art Awerkamp for organizing the event, introducing, and presenting the check. |

Rev. Ron Fritts with the prayer thanking God for all children but especially for the hearing impaired children. Fred Lauder leading the pledge... Between the kids, their parents and teachers, and Exchangites, a packed house last Friday... Good to see KHQA's Jarod Wells joining us for the program... The above mentioned Ron Fritts had two special guests; his daughter, Nikki, and granddaughter, Tanner... Congratulations to Ric Hinkamper for officiating a NCAA D2 second round play-off game (Villanova at Appalachian State) this past Saturday. That games was broadcast on ESPN... Please keep Hal Broadwater's mother in your thoughts and prayers as she is not doing well... Cullan Duke passing out Christmas gifts AKA dues statements... Steve Green making another collection for the waitress gift. If you haven't had a chance to donate, do it early this week as President Kent will be making the presentation on Friday... Congratulations to Dennis Koch and his crew for an outstanding Spousal Christmas Party. I didn't get a chance to attend and I haven't heard much but I am sure it was a smashing success... Charlie Ledbetter giving us a great wrap up from the GIVEAKIDACAHNCE Foster Care family dinner on 12/3. Charlie thanked all Exchangites and their spouses who assisted and told us over 80 folks attended. Great job, Charlie and crew... No 50/50 or tail twister last week but sure to return this Friday... Look for President Kent to recap the 12/13 board meeting this week... Our last meeting of the year at ABVI. No meeting on the 24th and on the 31st we'll be at the Quincy Boat Club for the Christmas/New Year's Party... Even though there will be no meeting next week, we will have a bulletin... That's all for now, 'til next time, may God's love, grace, and peace be with you and the ones you love. |
