| Quote of the Week | |
"I've reached the age in life where I need my glasses on to see my notes and my glasses off to see your faces!"
- Speaker Cheryl Waterman referencing what many Exchangites have noticed themselves. Things just happen when you get older; you don't have to like it, you just have to deal with it! |
| Point to Ponder |
"Poor is the nation that has no heroes but beggard is the nation that has and forgets them." Not sure who this quote is attributed to but it is certainly appropriate as we pause this week to thank all the men and women who have honorably served this great nation in our Armed Forces. These are the men in our club who have done so: Hal Broadwater, Sonny Christner, Mel Dillman, Gerald Ebbing, Dr. Frank Gianfriddo, Fred Lauder, Jim Lierly, Jimmie Louthen, Curt Moore, Skip Rueter, Jim Totsch, Elvin Townsend, and myself. |

| This Friday Morning | |
 You are invited to the Illinois Veterans Home for the Annual Veterans Day Program. Starts Friday (11/11) at 10:00 a.m. in Lippincott Hall. Fellow Exchangite Jeff Dorsey will serve as master of ceremonies, WWII Marine Corps Veteran Warren Musch will deliver the keynote address, and the Quincy Notre Dame High School Band and Concert Chorale will provide the musical entertainment. The program will include a wreath laying in memory of all veterans and a moment of silence at the 11th hour, of the 11th day, of the 11th month, and this year, the 11th year. The program will obviously conclude in plenty of time for you to attend the club meeting at ABVI. |

This Friday | |
Our Annual Veterans Day Observance within the club (at ABVI). Iraqi Army Captain (ret.) Justin Jennings will be our speaker. Justin is the former commander of the 1744th Transportation Company in the Illinois Army National Guard (which is out of Streator, IL). Justin is currently employed as a Veterans Service Officer for the Illinois Department of Veterans Affairs. In addition, we'll welcome the Quincy Junior High School TAG class taught by Lisa Goughnour. Should be a special day so please join us Friday for Quincy's Finest Hour. |

Nice to have Cheryl Waterman, Executive Director of the United Way of Adams County, with us. Cheryl shared information about the United Way creating the building blocks (Education, Income, and Health) for a good quality of life. She also touched base on the $1,111,111 fundraising campaign (which of course, Exchangite Carlos Fernandez is chairing). Finally, Cheryl encouraged us to "Live United. Give. Advocate. Volunteer." Good stuff! President Elect Perry Terwelp with the introduction. |
| Congratulations! | | State Soccer Champions
A pleasure to have the Quincy Notre Dame High School State Champion Soccer team, under the fine leadership of Coach Greg Reis, with us. Coach Reis recapped the great season and championship run for us and introduced each of the young men. |

| This & That | | |
Jim Benz with the good prayer and Randy Frese leading the pledge... Jeff Steinkamp the guest of Mayor John Spring and Hap Walker the guest of Jim Benz. Michael Brzank dined with Rich Zeidler, again. Michael has a better attendance record than ¾ the club over the past two months... President Steve Green thanking Immediate Past President Kent Anderson for standing in last week and Carlos Fernandez for his work with the Firefighter of the Year Award and program... Past President Kevin Curran offering a quick update on the upcoming Special Olympics Basketball Tournament on Sunday, December 11th. Sign-up sheets out last week. We need referees, and scorekeeper/timers. Make it a day or sign up for a morning or afternoon shift... Our thanks to Jeff Dorsey for organizing our efforts in the Veterans Day Parade held this past weekend and to all the men who helped carry the flag. Thanks, guys... Past President Dennis Koch announcing the date and location of the Spousal Christmas Party; Friday, December 2nd at Tony's. More details to come but please add it to your schedule and more importantly, TELL YOUR WIFE... Rick Veihl had the right 50/50 ticket but picked the wrong card (seven of spades) so the pot grows... Bruce Broemmel collecting for the widows and orphans fund. Great story featuring a 2:00 a.m. lecture on late night drinking... In case you didn't hear, QND Soccer Coach Greg Reis missed a penalty kick in the 1984 state championship. A point President-Elect Perry Terwelp drove home SEVERAL times last week. I realize Perry was a attempting a backhanded compliment about the great things Coach Reis has accomplished since but were the MANY reference to the miss and subsequent loss really necessary... That's all for now, 'til next time, may God's love, grace, and peace be with you and the ones you love. |
