The Opening Act
|
Club
President, Adam Bain, called the August 30 meeting to order. Jonathan Turner was unavailable, so
remembering how great the membership sounds in singing a capella, Adam
dispensed with song leading.
Adam's
first announcement was a reminder of the September 18 bags tournament. We're still looking for teams.
Liz
Loveless again reminded us of the October 2 NAMI walk on Credit Island.
Dale
Grabau gave us an update on the annual City of Rock Island Labor Day
parade. Our Club will again be
participating in the parade, which is scheduled to step off at 9:20 on Monday,
September 6. If you're interested in
walking, you should make plans to be at the 18th Avenue branch of
American Bank & Trust between 8:30 and 9:00.
We
were also given a reminder that we will not meet next Monday, September 6. Rather, we will have a joint meeting with
Rotary on Tuesday, September 7. Featured
speaker will be Dr. Mike Oberhaus, the new Superintendent of Schools for Rock
Island/Milan School District No. 41.
The
membership was treated to a special occasion by the presentation of the
prestigious Kiwanis Hixson Awards to Steve Andich and Tom Plechaty. It would be difficult to think of individuals
who would be more deserving of this award, and we all join in congratulating
Steve and Tom.
Guests
included members of the Alleman High School Key Club.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Gene Smith won the preliminary prize, which he graciously
turned back to the Club treasury. The
Kartel qualified for the grand prize and, in a moment of shock and awe, Lee
Schenck won the prize.

| The Feature Attraction |
The
program was given by Mr. Kevin Ferris, publisher of Mature Focus magazine. Kevin
gave a brief background on the organization, which was started by his parents
in 1992. In 1999, Kevin's father
expressed some interest in retiring, and by April, 2000, Kevin assumed
responsibilities for the publication.
Kevin gave some detail on what all of his duties are at Mature Focus, which go well beyond being
publisher and editorial writer. Kevin
spoke on how he finds sources for the contents of his articles and related some
of his experience in putting out the publications.
