The Opening Act
|
I apologize for the extremely late delivery of the E-News this week. I was out of town much of the week and weekend. - Daryl
Things
were back to normal for our September 13 meeting. Club President, Adam Bain, was able to
preside on a solo basis for the meeting, and Jonathan Turner was back providing
entertainment, along with his Kiwanis Clearwater Revival.
On
a delightful surprise note, we were able to welcome that Nag's Head Flash, past
Club member and Club President, Bud Sheets.
In
keeping with his no-singing-on-September-13 policy, especially when the song leader
is late, Adam dispensed with this Club's favorite audience participation.
For
probably the last time this year, Adam reminded us of the bags tournament this Saturday. He took the opportunity to thank all who had participated in the
planning for the event. Liz Loveless
remarked that we still need assistance during the period Saturday from 2:00
until 4:00 or so.
Liz
also reminded us of the NAMI walk on October 2. Please make a pledge to this worthwhile organization and, if possible,
sign up to participate. It should be a
good time and, remember, Liz knows Gene Smith, and we all know how Gene enforces
participation in Birdies for Charity.
Guests
included representatives of the Alleman High School Key Club and the Rock
Island High School Key Club, who were chaperoned by Rock Island High School
Principal, Mr. Robert Mason.
There
was a flood of Happy and Sad Dollars, but one of the all-time best anecdotes
had to come from Al Beck. Your Editor
couldn't even keep track of Al's presentation, so I'd suggest just giving him a
call.
In
Fun and Fellowship, Club leadership tried something different, much to
President Adam's dismay. Tom Ketelaar
ran the 50/50 drawing, which the Kartel managed to win. Then, as a topper, Mark Amacher picked up the
winnings and dashed out of the room.
|
| The Feature Attraction | The program was by Republican congressional candidate,
Bobby Schilling. Mr. Schilling gave a
brief background of his early days in Rock Island, his schooling, and his early
job history. He followed this with an
articulation of many of his themes, including job creation, lowering the
unemployment rate, and developing an across-the-aisle spirit of
cooperation. He ended his brief
presentation with an opportunity for questions from the audience.
