The Opening Act
|
Club
President, Adam Bain, called the meeting of June 28 to order. Jonathan Turner was back in the entertainment
saddle again, along with his Kiwanis Yankee Doodle Dandies. Adam even gave in and we had songleading, led
by our resident troubadour, Daryl Empen.
Gene
Smith had mercy on us and gave us one more week to voluntarily participate in
Birdies for Charity before he calls out the dogs.
Tom
Plechaty continued to circulate the softball tournament list. This event will be going on the weekend of
July 23. Please sign up early and often.
Adam reminded us again that if
anyone had any nominees for the Hixson Award, they should submit them to him
immediately.
Gene
Smith also mentioned that he would be soliciting some assistance to work out at
the Classic, and those interested should contact him.
Adam
reminded us of the July 25 Learn to Ride project at the Botanical Center. Please contact Adam if you've spent the
appropriate number of hours working at the softball tournament and would like
to participate in this project as well.
Daryl
Townsend, our loyal shakedown expert at the Club entryway, reminded us that the
pantry collection this month would be going to the Children's Advocacy Center.
The
Happy/Sad Dollar segment resulted in a flood of dollars, as well as some really
interesting presentations. Tom Ketelaar
spoke on his participation in the International Convention, Bob VanDeVoorde
related some of the background to his being named to the Quad Cities Senior
Olympics Hall of Fame, Bill Nelson put in his pitch for the Fourth of July
festivities surrounding the grand opening of the new park, Dale Grabau thanked
everyone for their best wishes during his convalescence and expressed how glad
he was to be back with Club members, Brian Verdun regretfully announced that he
would be leaving the Club and the area for Pontiac, Illinois for a job change,
and we were reminded of the Blues Fest activities this weekend as well.
In
Fun and Fellowship, the preliminary prize was re-donated to the Club. For the grand prize, the Kartel might as well
have donated it back to the Club, since the almost voiceless Tom Ketelaar
rendered the smasharoo to the Kartel participant.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
program was given by Jeff Condit, the Director of Development for Friendship
Manor. Jeff gave a lively, humorous and
informative presentation on this jewel of Rock Island. Most of us were surprised at how little we
actually we knew of this faith-based, non-profit, charitable, continuing care
retirement community.
