| Opening Act |
Last
week, Queen Daphne had mentioned that she would be out of town for our February
23 meeting, so First Vice President Adam Bain capably filled in. Entertainment, as always, was provided by
Jonathan Turner and his Rock Island Kiwanis Academy of Motion Pictures
Orchestra.
Adam
reminded us that March 7 is Kiwanis Hockey Night and that an incentive prize is
the use of the A. D. Huesing box for those who sell the most tickets.
Those
of us who were not already aware were saddened to hear of the recent passing of
former member, Charlie Cox.
Liz
Loveless gave us her first reminder of the Kiwanis bowling tournament March 8
at 1:00 p.m. At this time, our Rock Island team not only needs bowlers but
also pledges for those participating.
Please be generous and sharply-dressed in those bowling shirts.
We
welcomed a number of guests at the meeting, including Interclubs from Aledo and
Moline and
representatives of the Rock
Island High School
and Alleman High School Key Clubs.
The
Happy/Sad Dollar portion of the program included a happy wedding anniversary
dollar from Jerry Jones.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Jim Horstmann won the preliminary prize, which he
graciously donated back to the Club.
Dave Temple qualified for the grand prize, but Mike Bell again managed
to keep the Club treasury intact.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
program was given by Eric Rowell, from the development office at Augustana College, and his wife, Amy. The program consisted of a slide presentation
on the Rowells' trip to Washington,
DC for the recent Presidential
inauguration. Eric gave a delightful
presentation, explaining the various places they saw while in Washington, DC,
including anecdotes with almost every slide.
It looked and sounded like it was a wonderful and very memorable trip.
