The Opening Act
|
The
Club did not meet at its usual Monday noon time this week. Rather, the Club met Tuesday, June 1, in a
joint meeting with Rock Island Rotary Club.
Rotary served as the hosts of the event, so there wasn't a significant
number of matters of interest pertaining to our Club. In the absence of our Club President, Adam
Bain, Craig Knobloch handled what few Kiwanis housekeeping matters came up.
We
were reminded by Joe Robb that the next
Interclub will be with the Atkinson Club on June 9. This is the annual rolle bolle tournament,
which has been a uniquely delightful experience to all who have ever
participated. Everyone interested in a
really good time and a super dinner should plan to attend and start buffing
your bolles right away. For those who
need a ride, Joe suggested meeting with him and some other participants in the
parking lot at Lowe's that evening. Joe
said something about meeting in the bushes, but your Editor did not have an
opportunity to find out exactly what he might have meant by that.
A
card was available for the purpose of signing to celebrate the 50th
anniversary of the ordination of Father Mirabelli. Neither Duncan Reid nor Father Mirabelli were
in attendance at the June 1 meeting, and I'm sure that if they had attended,
Duncan might have queried about how much stainless steel ware could have
accumulated over that period of time.
In
the Rotary drawing equivalent of our Fun and Fellowship, our own Dick Fislar
managed to win the consolation prize and won an addition to his collection of
fine North Dakota wines.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
speaker was Cynthia Tidwell, President/CEO of Royal Neighbors, who gave an
extremely informative and extensive presentation on her philosophies of turning
around a corporation through her strategy of identification, stabilization and
strengthening. She also gave a brief
background on Royal Neighbors itself.

REASON #2 AS TO WHY
THE HOUSE COMMITTEE TAKES ATTENDANCE
Consistent with our review of reasons as to why the House
Committee takes attendance, this week we'll handle Reason #2. This is for the purpose of identifying those
who might be eligible for perfect attendance recognition. If you wish to maintain or start a perfect
attendance record, you should be sure that you are counted each week and make
sure that the person taking attendance at the entrance to each Club meeting is
aware that you are present.
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
"Be as
smart as you can, but remember that it is always better to be wise than smart." - Alan Alda
