Jared Haugh, reading his Bible all week, jump started the meeting with the prayer.

Rick Goughnour chimed in afterwards with a well-defined "I" to initiate (that means start) the Pledge of Allegiance.

President Curt Moore reminded everyone of the Club picnic scheduled for tomorrow (Wednesday, June 10) at Madison Park at 6pm. Please bring your family or dates to enjoy the night. The Butcher Block food and Gengenbacher Shaved Ice will be available. There is NO cost. We  will again be sponsoring the Quincy Park Band's Flag Day Concert that night and will be handing out American Flags to concert goers that night.

President Curt, on behalf of Joel Koch, advised the Club that we need to update our Club directory online. If you need to update your information, or for you new members, add a picture and bio, please contact Joel.

Steve Labs announced that the efforts of the staff at Hy-Vee in selling Blue Ribbons as part of our Child Abuse Prevention campaign garnered $700. Thank you Steve for over-seeing this wonderful operation.

Jared Haugh is chairing the golf outing during the District Convention with the tee-off date of June 25 at Spring Lake Country Club which includes dinner afterward.. The cost is just $75 so get your foursomes to Chairman Jared Haugh. We would love to see quite a few golfers there to kick off the convention. No foursome? That's OK too.

Jared also held a meeting after the regular meeting last Friday to discuss the Avenue of Lights. There will be a meeting with John Groves at Scotties Fun Spot tonight (Tuesday, June 9) at 6:30. It would be great to see a large showing there to learn more about our involvement with this wonderful project.

Don't forget the District Convention is coming up June 25 thru June 28. The cost to Quincy members is a reduced rate of only $85. You can also pick and choose individual event s to attend at a reduced rate. Check the district website of www.lincolnlandexchnge.org for the registration form and details.
