The greeters today were Steve Castor and Bruce Hill. The song of the day was America, the Beautiful. Kristin Winn brought the prayer. Tom Sheldon told the joke of the day. It had to do with moose hunting. Bruce Isaacson brought the thought for the day. It talked about doing the best you can in different circumstances. The Mystery greeter was Rita Crumpton. She chose Mark Relph to win the drawing.

Guests today included Trent Tilbury brought by Randy Kirschbaum. Jeff Freeland had Barb Walsh as his guest. Gordon Harbert brought along his wife. Sue Kiser introduced Christi Westerman. Ed Branson had his associate Mikiko Perryman as his guest. Steve Castor welcomed Mike Burke today. Rick Nisley had Kevin Griffin with him. Karen Stealey once again had lots of guests. I believe there were four. I did not catch all the names.

Sue Kiser had a happy buck in appreciation of the graduation of her daughter from the University of Utah. Bill Byers also was happy and contributed a buck because his daughter is doing fine after an emergency appendectomy.

There is an opportunity to order Kiwanis shirts. If you would like to place an order sign up and bring your money to pay for them. Randy Rexwinkle finally got his shirt from last time.

President Rick Nisley conducted the meeting. He seems to be missing his bell. He also tried to tell jokes but they did not seem to go over too good.

Stan Hilkey admitted he needed to be fined because he almost ran over Heidi Pankow in the parking lot. Such an honest sheriff!
