The Opening Act
|
Our
Prince of Pancakes, Adam Bain, presided over the November 9 meeting. Jonathan Turner provided the entertainment,
along with his Kiwanis Doo-Wop Singers.
Adam
began the meeting by informing the membership that preliminary investigations
have implicated Duncan Reid in another missing gavel caper. Private Club investigation will be made as
soon as Adam is able to recover the Board members who, apparently, were also
taken by Duncan.
The
Club received a very nice thank-you note from Sheila Guse for the gift
presented to her and her program at Rock Island High School.
The
Terrific Kids program started off last Friday with presentations made at
Willard Grade School in Rock Island.
This Friday morning, Dave Umphrey will be leading his Kiwanis
Merrymakers to Thomas Jefferson Grade School.
Just
as a reminder, our next Interclub gathering will be led by Joe Robb on November
17. Please call him up if you'd like to
spend a nice dinner outing with him.
Tom
Plechaty was again seated in the rear corner of the room with his now
gently-aged cheese. He'd appreciate it
if all you wanted to do was stop by and chat, but he'd really appreciate it if
you could take some of the cheese off his hands.
Alicia
Shuman informed us that our annual Martin Luther King Christmas party would be
held December 16 at the MLK Center.
Wrapping will be handled on December 12.
Adam
informed us that December 15 will mark the 90th birthday of our
Club. Some form of celebration is being
planned.
The
Coats for Kids project was a smashing success.
Thanks to the generosity of Old Navy and Chick-Fil-A and the work of
Alicia Shuman, Dave Umphrey, Marla Andich, Tom Ketelaar, Bob Stecker, Mark
Amacher and John Califf, to mention just a few of the participants, the Club
was able to outfit 52 kids with approximately $3,800 worth of coats and
refreshments for an outlay of less than $500.
Guests
included members of the Alleman High School Key Club.
We
received updates on Bob VanDeVoorde, as well as Daryl Townsend. Please keep these two loyal Club members and
past Presidents in your best thoughts and prayers.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Alicia Shuman won the preliminary prize. Steve Andich won the right to participate in
one of the Club's more confusing grand prize efforts, which he ended up losing
anyway.

The Feature Attraction
|
The
program was given by head Augustana College men's varsity basketball coach,
Grey Giovanine. Grey explained that he
sees this as being something of a building year to the extent that there is
only one senior returning to the team. A
number of freshmen will be seeing court time, including one young man who was
heavily recruited by a number of Division I schools. A highlight of the schedule will be an away
game which Grey was able to schedule with Gonzaga University, a Division I
powerhouse.
