LeAnn announced the district convention is coming up August 11-14 in Cheyenne. As Rich Emerson is running for Governor Elect it is good to have as many from our club go to the convention. Some 10-12 at least are needed. By show of hands at least 10 said they plan to attend. The meetings will be held at the Hitching Post in Cheyenne. Bob Colony said to get your reservations in now. The club has budgeted $750 for travel expenses. If you would like to have a part of that money contact Orville Peterson for details.

Roger Martin, Bob Hanson and Katherine Staton are celebrating birthdays this week. Congratulations to all.

Jeff Cyriaks had his membership anniversary. He said working in the kitchen on pancake day is his most memorable Kiwanis moment.

Marilee Wood introduced the program. Lori Hammond from Early Childhood Connection was the speaker. She told how Kiwanis money has been used to help those with problems in early childhood. She said the money was spent to help those families with little money to be with their small children with disabilities.

The torch was passed to next year’s chairman for Pancake Days. That is Mike McDill. LeAnn Zetmier said there was a wrap-up meeting last night. She also said the Free Press and the Daily Sentinel will be running ads this week-end thanking those who contributed to the success of Pancake Days.. Orville Peterson announced those who did not sell at least $80.00 in tickets will be billed for the amount they did not sell up to $80.00. If you get a bill and think it is not right contact him.

The blood mobile is coming July 14. Sign-up will be next week, LeAnn announced.

Mike McDill announced there are some 12-13 new members brought in during the membership drive. It wraps up next week. The goal was 20. If you have someone to get included you need to be sure they attend the orientation meeting on Wednesday July 6. Don Teets will conduct that meeting at the Holiday Inn beginning at 5:15PM. As of now our total membership is about 126 people Lynne Sorlye said.

See you next time
