Meeting
OPENING ACT
President
Steve Schroeder called the meeting to order. Music was once again provided by Jonathan
Turner with his Kiwanis Sinfonia.
John Califf reminded us of the next
Interclub Group Tour to Geneseo, Tuesday evening, April 22.
Yes, those were snow flurries you saw this
morning, but Gene Smith says it is time to get your early bids in with Birdies for
Charity. You might as well make your pledge early because, remember, he knows where you
live and where you eat Mondays at noon.
Flushed with joy after her recent marriage,
Liz Berridge informed us that Joe Beatty will now be chairing the NAMI Walk in her
absence.
Denise Ormsby gave her last
pitch for Rose Day. Be a star and pop for a dozen.
A second reading was given of the nominees for officer positions.
President Steve reminded us of the Rock
Island Clean-up Day to be held April 19, followed by the First Annual Kiwanis Jazz
Extravaganza that same date and the following day, April 20. I heard there is no truth to
the rumor that everything picked up on Rock Island Clean-up Day was fair game for the
Christmas Bad Gift Exchange.
We
welcomed a new member in our midst, Jeff Behrens.
Mike Bell informed us that Peanut Days will
be held May 9 and 10, and I am sure many of you recall Peanut Days as one of the most
enjoyable activities in which our club engages. Sign up for a shift and if you can do
more, go for it. If properly urged, rumor has it that Al Beck, Joe Robb, Father Mirabelli,
and Mike Swartz will do what they can to ensure good weather.
Guests included representatives of the
Alleman High School and Rock Island High School Key Clubs. Despite his best efforts,
Father Mirabelli apparently has not been able to reach all Key Clubbers who come to the
meeting with the admonition about sitting at the Duncan Reid table.
In Fun and Fellowship, Mike Swartz won the
preliminary prize, which he graciously donated back to the club. The Kartel won the
opportunity for the grand prize, which managed to elude the grasp of Duncan Reid.
THE FEATURE ATTRACTION
The
program was given by two of the new local executives for the new and improved Quad City
River Bandits. They gave brief outlines on their past experience and gave us a preview of
the new look/new energy team which the new ownership will be fielding.
FUTURE ATTRACTIONS
April 14 Mary Ann McLeod,
Boys to Men, Bethany Community Services

QUOTE FOR THE DAY
"When
you live to be my age, things you remember tend to relate to some medical
experience."
