Our greeters this week were Ken Willard and Randy Kirschbaum and we thank you for filling in for Jim Corley and Mike Pentaky in their absence.  You did a great job!!  Wes opened our meeting by greeting all Kiwanians and our guests.  In the audience this week were the young men from Cowley County Community College, Kansas.  They are representing their college in the JUCO Tournament that is going on at Suplizio Field and our club is the proud sponsor of this team.  We wish them well in their play.  Terry Wakefield led us in song as we sang “Take Me Out to the Ballgame” and Shaunalee Wall delivered our invocation. Bruce Hill read our Defining Statement and was pleasantly surprised when there were so many members that knew the statement. 

We had a few guests this week.  Bruce Hill introduced Jamie Hamilton and Rob Loen as his guests, Mailyn D’Aponti brought Kim Miller with her and Sandy Barger introduced Pam Frensil.  Bill Byers had his daughter Lindsey with him and Pete Jouflas introduced Eric Field. 

Our Fine Master Ron Sherman gave out a few good ones to the attending members of our club.  Those fined were Lee Young, Bruce Hill, Pete Jouflas, Steve Thompson, Scott Hayduk and Jeff Cyriacks.  A lot of the fines this week focused on the players in the Kiwanis Golf Tournament.  Ron Sherman was even fined by another member of the club. So you see, even the Fine Master is not exempt!! 

Patty Hoffman is the newest member of our club with her induction last Thursday.  Please be sure and welcome Patty when you see her. 

Brad Krebill introduced the JUCO team from Cowley County CC and then Bruce Hill as our program.  Bruce talked about what will be happening during the JUCO World Series that started on Saturday, May 26^th.  He then introduced Jamie Hamilton who spoke about the history of JUCO and the opportunities this team from Kansas will have through JUCO.  

Joe Breman spoke well about the Financial Resource Committee and what was going on there.  Wes D’Aponti reminded us that there were sign-up sheets on the table for Pancake Day duties.  Please make sure that you get your name down wherever you can help.   

Barb Hinze talked about the progress that is being made in the sales of Pancake Day Tickets.  Our goal this year is $15,000.00 and right now the sub-total of tickets sold is at $5,780.00.  The “Top Sales People” this past week were Greg Schaefer, Scott Hayduk, Bob Hanson, Orville Boge and Henry Langstaff.  They gave us tips on how they make their sales and Greg said “Just ask the question”.  That sounds like a good one, don’t you think? 

Lloyd Unfred went around the room collecting money for the cake walk during Pancake Day.  Stay tuned on how much cash was collected.  Bob Colony announced a $1,000 donation from City Market for the Silent Auction. 

There will be posters next week at club to take back to our businesses and display.  Jessica Miracle said that silent auction items are still needed and there were sheets on our tables for items.  Items can be dropped off at Toni Heiden-Moran’s business in the 700 block of Rood Ave. 

Rick Nisley had sign up sheets on the table for the Post-Pancake Day Picnic.  This will be at the Hawthorne Park on Friday, June 15^th starting at 5:30PM.  Real Member Ale and Wes I.C.A.B will be the featured beers at the picnic. 

HJppy Bucks were paid by Bob Colony who is celebrating his 55^th wedding anniversary with Terry, Orville Petersen, Vern Gray, Shaunalee Wall, Bob Stratton, Rick Adelman, Peggy Page, Bruce Hill and Lloyd Unfred.  Lloyd announced a benefit on Thursday, May 31 – 7 pm at the First United Methodist Church on the corner of 5^th and White, Downtown Grand Junction. There will be a performance by the Barbershop Quartet and Chorus.   

Rick Abernathy delivered our Movie Trivia this week and with the correct answer of McClintock, Orville Petersen won the $5.00.  Good job, Guys. 

Our Thought for the Day was delivered by Ken Willard and with that we were adjourned. 

Until next week…..Roxie Denning, Bulletin Editor
