Rock Island Kiwanis Club
OPENING ACT President Steve Schroder called the meeting to order. Music was again furnished by Jonathan Turner and the Kiwanis Mike Bell Choir. Vocally-challenged Adam Bain led the group singing.John Califf thanked all of those who participated in the Annawan Interclub visit and encouraged all interested and able to attend the next Interclub in Geneseo April 22. The first edition of the Kiwanis e-mail Kronicle brought rave reviews to our Club IT Committee, Daryl "E-Mail" Empen. A slight snag was identified in our Club NCAA pool in that whoever drew Wisconsin didn’t sign their name on the bracket board. If you can produce the slip of paper with Wisconsin’s name on it and can have your position supported by affidavit sworn to by a pastor, priest and rabbi, and can get beyond the fingerprint and DNA test, you may have a chance.
President Steve next presented Legion of Honor awards: To Dick Timmer in recognition of 40 years of membership; and in a special ceremony, to John Bromley’s wife, Lorraine, and Liz for and in recognition of longtime member and past President John Bromley’s 35 years of membership. Liz reminded us of the NAMI kickoff luncheon this Saturday and the walk to be held May 3. Dick Fislar expressed his remorse in not being able to attend meetings for the next two weeks due to pressing business in eastern Europe. In Fun and Fellowship, Steve Andich won the preliminary prize, which he graciously donated back to the Club. The Kartel won the opportunity for the grand prize which past President, Dick Fislar, in a parting shot, managed to lose.
THE FEATURE ATTRACTION The program was given by Joe Taylor of the Quad Cities Convention & Visitors Bureau. Joe explained what the Bureau does, how it is organized, who runs it, and how it is funded. He also mentioned the recognition the Bureau has received. Joe also talked about anticipated or coming events this summer, including the Iowa State Pool Players Tournament; RAGBRAI, which will have its eastern terminus in Scott County; as well as the Bix and the ASA softball tournaments coming up all on the same weekend in July.
