2nd Annual Kiwanis-Pepsi Bags Tournament, Saturday, September 18th, Noon - 6 pm, Schwiebert Riverfront Park
|
The Opening Act
|
As
of starting time of the meeting, Jonathan Turner was missing and Club
President, Adam Bain, had not yet materialized.
We were able to beam in Craig Knobloch, who ably handled Club governance
until Adam showed up.
Liz
handled initial announcements by reminding us again of the September 18 bags
tournament, as well as the October 2 NAMI walk on Credit Island.
Special
guest of the day was Claudia Buchanan, our incoming Division Lieutenant Governor.
A
card of condolence was circulated in memory of Dale Grabau's son.
Once
Adam showed up, he gave a second pitch on the bags tournament and reminded
everyone of the discounted registration good until August 25. Adam and his crew have gone gangbusters on
sponsorships, and now we need registrations to match that enthusiasm.
The
Club membership was delighted with another one of our seasonal visits from that
renowned blues singer, Daryl "Saltmarsh" Townsend.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Steve Andich won the preliminary prize, which he graciously
donated back to the Club. Bill Nelson
won the honor of going for the grand prize, which Mike Bell once again dangled
before his eyes and then quickly withdrew.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
program was given by renowned area "recovery specialist", Wade Argo. Wade explained what his business was like and
was quick to distance himself from the types of repo men entertaining us on
cable TV. Wade has been in the business
for 24 years and, before then, was a uniformed law enforcement officer. Wade's business works in Iowa, Illinois and
Indiana. He has nine people working with
him. Wade entertained our gathering with
anecdotes of past cases.
