Well, we met this week with the Rotary Club. Their president, Dan Robinson, called the meeting to order. He had the police there to guard his bell as it seems the last time he came in contact with the Kiwanis club his bell disappeared. Mike, do you know anything about that?

I tried to get the members of Kiwanis who brought guests but if you had someone and that person is not mentioned I am sorry.

Rick Tuma had his son Travis as his guest. Bill Byers had his children, Bryce and Lindsey with him. They are home for Thanksgiving. LeAnn Zetmier brought her daughter Krista Reid with her. Allison Ellington had her mother-in-law and former Grand Junction Kiwanis member Michelle Heiser with her.

Kiwanis members who had happy bucks to contribute included Mike Moran, Bill Byers, and Orville Peterson.

Don’t forget that next Saturday, December 4, is bell ringing day. If you have not signed up plan to do so this Thursday. We will ring from noon to 2 PM. Let’s get out there and beat the Rotary.

Rotary brought weird news instead of News, Weather and Sports. It had to do with practicing medicine without a license. They also had a time of reading the Rotary 4 Way Test. I wonder how many of us can tell about the goals of Kiwanis?

The program was H. Merritt Kinsey. He talked about the Western Slope Industries. He is the CEO and they make machines to fold paper cartons. He had a talk and showed a video. The business employs some 90 people here in the valley.

Last week I mentioned Jeff Gumone missing his week for his birthday. I erred. It was Chris Gumone that missed the week of his birthday. Jeff assured me he was born in the spring and not in the fall.

Don’t forget to sign up for the Golden K Christmas Party. It is coming up on December 15. The cost is $17.50 per person. We as a club are invited. However you must get your name in the pot.

See you all this Thursday at the usual time and place.
