The Opening Act
|
His Royal Highness, Adam Bain,
successor to the Throne of Ormsby, presided over our April 5 meeting. Jonathan Turner ably provided our
entertainment, along with his Kiwanis "Ain't No Sunshine When He's Gone"
singers.
Adam and our Rose Queen, formerly
Her Royal Highness of the Territories of Ormsby, reminded us of Rose Day and
the need to place your orders no later than April 8 so that an appropriate
number of roses can be ordered.
We were also again reminded that
April 15 will be the grand trek to Aledo for presentation of the traveling
gavel.
The Salvation Army annual meeting
date is May 10. Check with Liz Loveless
if you'd like to attend for a good cause, an excellent Kiwanis speaker, and
some pretty swell oriental food.
Adam reminded us of the Club
color-dot-sticker program.
The lovely and talented Daphne
came before the assembly one more time to give the nominating committee's list
of proposed officers. Besides those that
we already know, the Second Vice President candidate is Jeff Behrens, and the
candidates for a three-year term on the Board are Bill Ferencevich, Tracee
Keefer, and Chris Ford.
Guests included Mel Peterson, who
announced that he is going to be a candidate for Governor Elect.
We were delighted to have a
presentation by renowned Kiwanian, past Club President and part-time blues
singer, Daryl Townsend.
In Fun and Fellowship, Paul
Lamoureux won the preliminary prize, which he graciously donated back to the
Club. In one of his more innovative
grand prize games, Mike Bell went right down to the wire to defeat the Kartel's
own Gary Miner.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
program was given by Scott Muller of the I Wireless Center. Scott began by giving a brief background of
himself and the various positions he has held in the sports management
area. He also explained the process in
how acts are often identified and approached for presentations at the Center,
formerly known as The Mark. Scott
mentioned that our Center is one of the top five most successful centers in the
country with seating of its size. The
most profitable acts are those which are commonly referred to as the pop acts
for youth. Country acts are usually the
biggest draws. One of his more
interesting responses to a question was an explanation as to how tickets are
sold and the impact of ticket brokers and fan clubs.
