| Upcoming Events/Fundraisers/Dates |
Rose Day, Wednesday, April 22nd.
Peanut Day, May 8-9. If you are interested in purchasing a case of peanuts for $25, please contact Mike Bell (mbell@ambankqc.com) to place your order. These "pre-sales" are a great way to help raise funds for the club and the peanuts make a great snack for your office staff, in addition to raising awareness of Kiwanis. Your order can be billed to your Kiwanis dues invoice.

| Opening Act |
While your Editor was out of town, I
noticed that the Club membership had designated President Denise Ormsby as
Empress and in keeping with that new tradition, I'll go along with that. The Empress called the meeting to order. Jonathan Turner wasn't able to attend but,
fortunately, there are a few people who can carry a tune, so we struggled
through the opening formalities.
Empress
Daphne informed us that the top three salespersons for Rose Day were Steve
Andich, Bob Tapprich and Dave Temple.
Operating
without a net, our fearless leader informed us that the telethon is still
scheduled for 4:00 to 5:00
on Sunday but that it is now being operated through Channel 8. If you want more details on this, I would
suggest contacting Denise.
Concerning
the NAMI Walk, Liz Loveless made a
plea for walkers and people making pledges.
We
were also reminded of the Rod Jennings Memorial Rebuilding Project to be held
on the 25th.
Mike
Bell reminded us that Peanut Days would be occurring on May 8 and 9 and that
assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Adam
Bain informed us that the First Annual Interplanetary Bean Bag Tournament is
moving along and that accommodations for this event include moving the date, as
well as the location, at the Campbell
complex. Fifteen volunteers will be
needed.
In
the spirit of following the mantra "change is good", Dick Fislar informed us
that the Kiwanis 5K Lurch and Stagger will now be held June 27 at Sunset
Marina.
Empress
Daphne informed us that she would be attending the National Convention in Nashville and that in
anticipation of this event, she would start working on having big hair.
We
were delighted to not only induct new member, Aaron Matlock, but also welcomed
a prospective member and guest of Mike Swartz.
Jim
Horstmann gave us a report on Joe Robb.
Joe is weathering through what was a serious heart operation.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Bob Tapprich won the preliminary prize, which he graciously
donated back to the Club. The Kartel won
the opportunity for the grand prize, and Dick Fislar was appointed to represent
the Kartel in Mike Bell's contest and managed to lose in Mike's game.

| The Feature Attraction |
The program was given by Mike
Zapolski, the new Athletic Director at Augustana. Mike gave a very informative presentation on
the philosophy of NCAA Division III
schools. He also shared a number of
interesting items of information, highlighting differences between Division III and Division I.
As examples, there are 331 Division I schools and 429 Division III schools.
For the 2007/2008 year, the NCAA received approximately $614 million in
revenue, 3.18 percent of which went to cover expenses of Division III schools.
Over 90 percent of the total NCAA revenue package is attributable to
network broadcast rights and ticket sales from the men's basketball tournament.
