President Jeff Behrens called the meeting of October 15 to order. Jonathan Turner once again provided the entertainment, along with his Ides of October Bell Choir.
The first announcement came from immediate Past President, Tom Ketelaar, who stated that he would be making arrangements for Kiwanis directory pictures to be made for those who had joined the Club since the last time the directory was published and for those who wished to present themselves somewhat differently from the last go-around. Contact Tom for this.
President Jeff next explained that there were two committees which are going to be reformed and revitalized, a Peanut Day Committee and a Spiritual Aims Committee.
The next announcements came from John Califf. He reminded us again that the deadline for grant submittals would be October 22 and that the Grant Committee would be meeting to make its decisions on October 29.
In Fun and Fellowship, the Kartel won the preliminary prize, but in its enthusiasm to go for the grand prize, the team lost and John Califf came up with a game on the spur of the moment that was so contrived, it would probably make Mike Bell cry.
The last announcement was that on October 17, the new satellite group would be meeting at 5:30 at Bent River. As a challenge, your Editor would propose that someone come up with a better name than satellite group.
