Our beloved Club President, Prince
Adam of Bain, presided over the February 8 meeting. Entertainment was once again provided by
Jonathan Turner and his Kiwanis Who Dat? Chorus.
Daryl Empen served as song leader
and impressed the group with the little-known concert version of When the
Saints Go Marching In.
Tom Ketelaar gave us another spiel
on the Lose It or Luge It event scheduled for February 15. His coordinating group will be meeting Wednesday
for breakfast to work out some final details.
John Califf gave two
announcements. First, he informed us
that Daryl Townsend was back home after 11 days in the hospital. He also stated that his grant committee would
be reviewing applications submitted to date.
Joe Robb reminded us that he would
be leading an Interclub to The Lodge in Bettendorf at noon on February 16 for a
meeting to be hosted by Bettendorf.
Dave Umphrey informed us that the
Terrific Kids Caravan would be traveling to Thomas Jefferson Grade School in
Rock Island Friday morning. He is still
looking for someone who would be able to assist with a new Terrific Kids
venture in the Jordan system which would ordinarily meet Tuesday mornings,
twice a month.
Adam informed us that the annual
District meeting would be held in Oak Brook this weekend and promised to bring
back all sorts of good-to-know Kiwanis information.
Dale Grabau presented one of the
Happier Dollars of the day, informing the group that he and his lovely wife,
Irene, are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary.
In Fun and Fellowship, Chris Ford
won the preliminary prize, which he graciously donated back to the Club. Jim Horstmann won the opportunity to go for
the grand prize and managed to beat the ordinarily elusive Mike Bell out of the
grand prize.
