Meeting
OPENING ACT
President Dick
Fislar led our meeting. Those of us who share
a cappella shortcomings were especially pleased to welcome back Jonathan Turner and the
Kiwanis Bix Shoe-Stomp Orchestra.
Amidst
great wailing and gnashing of teeth, President Dick announced that he would not be present
next week.
Dick
informed us that August 13 would be a special meeting in that instead of the presentation
of an organized program, the day would be devoted to the presentation of awards to various
Club members.
Dick also
made his initial solicitation for marchers for the Labor Day parade.
John Califf
again reminded us of the August 22 Meeting Gigantico at The Lodge in Bettendorf. Again, this will be a joint meeting of all the Quad
Cities’ Kiwanis Clubs. Attendance is made
even more enticing by the fact that the Club will be paying the cost of all Club members
who wish to attend.
Dick was a
premier benefactor of Happy and Sad Dollars. First,
Dick mentioned that he had cut eight minutes off his time from last year. Rumor has it that the always-wiley Dick did the
Rosie Ruiz thing, running only to the halfway point of the race and getting a ride back to
the finish line in the Oscar Meyer Wienermobile. Dick
also announced something about a party on August 19, although he didn’t share with us
either the time or location.
In Fun and
Fellowship, Alicia graciously returned the preliminary prize, while Mark Amacher won back
some hard-earned investment dollars for the Kartel.
THE FEATURE ATTRACTION
Our program presenter, Steve
Ketelaar, gave a fascinating presentation on his work and workplace philosophy. He suggested that while his skills and talent can
make for a very entertaining radio presence, he sees his position as being more of an
observer. He presented a number of humorous
vignettes, shared some of his extensive experiences with well-known entertainers on his
shows, and related a number of his experiences, especially relating to hurricanes he
experienced while working in Florida. Steve
also shared his pleasure in participating in various charitable community projects.is
unable to report on the details.
FUTURE ATTRACTIONS
Aug. 6
Melissa Gardner, Quad City Flames Hockey
Aug. 13
Kiwanis Awards
Quote for the day
“I "knew
where it was. I turned the wrong
direction.”
- Dick Fislar, offered in response to the fact that he was late
for the shift he was supposed to have worked over the weekend because he got lost on the
way to the Campbell Sports Complex
