Did you miss
the meeting today? If you did you missed lots of fun. President
Mark Relph was there to receive 7 gifts from traveling Kiwanis
members. However the meeting went so long that he only got 6 of
them. Among his gifts was one from Bill Byers. Bill and his wife
just returned from a vacation to Mexico. Bill is sporting a
beard and brought soap, shampoo, shower cap and a cigar as well
as hot sauce for the president. Ask Bill about the "hot Time" he
had.
Orville Boge also brought a gift fro the president from his
recent trip to Washington state. It was a magnet and a picture
of a round-about. Ken Willard just got back from Portland,
Maine. He brought a small FM Radio for the president so Mark
will not have to listen to all the comments about round-abouts.
Greg Schaefer brought a Wisconsin Cow Pie for the president from
his trip to Wisconsin. Joe Breman was back from Israel. He said
it was his 85th trip. He brought a Israeli newspaper
written in Hebrew as well as instant coffee and ear plugs. Rick
Nisley returned from Chicago with a flattened penny from his
time at 6 Flags. It was to commemorate the super job Mark has
done this year.
The greeters today were Rita Crumpton and Randy Kirschbaum.
The song of the day was This Land Is Your Land. The prayer was
offered by Ken Willard. The joke of the day was given by Kevin
Price. Something about reading and knitting. Ask him to explain
it if you missed it. The Thought for the day was brought by
Orville Boge. He said that we should be crying and everyone
rejoicing when we are born and we should be rejoicing and
everyone crying when we die. The Mystery Greeter was Rita
Crumpton. She awarded the money to Daryl Pridy.

There were some clips shown from the Chanel 11 news. That is

The program was a review of the Mesa State Mav Club. Don

things the booster club does to promote Mesa State athletics and
then he had Coach Joe Romano tell about the football team.
Steve Thompson handed out fines to several including our
president Mark Relph for not designing the round-about out side
Two Rivers properly. He also fined Gary Brown for forgetting to
pick up the quarters in a timely manner. Lee Young and Bill
