Meeting Notes – Augu= st 10, 2006 <= o:p>
President
John called the meeting to order at 12:30 p.m., managing to hang onto the b=
ell
and gavel without Aimee’s assistance! Howie led us in the Pledge of
Allegiance and Roger J led us in a forgettable song. Kevin provided the
invocation.
Our
only guest was incoming Lt. Governor Bob Maxwell. Bob A reported on Feed The
Homeless. There was a lot of food and we fed approximately 70-90 people, ma=
ny
for seconds! Cathy reminded members that Sunday, August 13 is the Big Broth=
ers/Big
Sisters event at Madonna Ranch. Members need to be there at 2:15 p.m. for t=
he
3-6 p.m. event and are asked to wear jeans and a white button-down shirt.
President
John lamented that brother Rich has yet to bring forth the petition to impe=
ach
him. Time is running out Rich! Kevin’s installation scheduled for
September 1 has been rescheduled to SEPTEMBER 21. It will begin at 6 p.m. at
the Spirit of San Luis at the SLO Airport. That day’s lunch meeting w=
ill
be a Round Table and the business meeting will be during the installation
meeting.
Bob
Maxwell reminded members that the September DCM is on Tuesday, the fifth. H=
appy
hour is from 5 – 6 p.m. and a barbecue dinner will be served at 6
p.m. Dinner cost is $18. This=

O’Malley is hosting the meeting in his home along with the Atascadero
Club. Please RSVP to Bob by August 31 at 466-9605 or atasbob@aol.com.
President
John reported that we had the best Board meeting ever in August! Autumn
graciously (and efficiently!) provided coffee and dessert as well as memo p=
ads
& other accoutrements. Thanks to Justin for bringing Autumn into the Cl=
ub.
It was a “first class meeting.”
As
far as business, the Board discussed membership recruitment. Cathy is
spearheading the development of a brochure for use in informing others about
who we are and what we do and why, et. al. The Board also voted to contribu=
te
$100 to Kiwanis International, something that ALL clubs in our Division have
done so Lt. Governor Doug will be “distinguished.”
It
was decided to have Hilding as a back up to today’s program in case
Vaughn Taus is a no show.
Apparently both Vaughn and Hilding are no-shows and there will be no
program today. Even though Stew Jenkins has not been active for many months=
in
the club he is providing a speaker for the August 31 meeting. Fred Collins,
spokesman for the Northern Chumash Council, will speak to us about the Chum=
ash
history as well as some recent legislation that protects Native American
historic and religious sites.
Bob
A told a golf joke about an Irishman playing a round in Scotland. Dan H also
had a joke and Kyker told a funny office anecdote.
Fine
master Bart took over and Roger J immediately bought $1 of “fine
insurance” after kissing up to Bart during the meeting. Justin began =
by
giving $2 happy that his cousin who was hurt in a chain saw accident at Bass
Lake was okay and ended up giving a total of $10 after seeing Bart driving
Denise’s Porsche!
Fitz
was $5 sad about spending three hours in a dentist’s chair the previo=
us
day but also happy about his recent vacation in Astoria where he attended a
Kiwanis meeting – only eight members in attendance but a good speaker.
Rich paid $5 as he arrived late and left early due to a heavy workload. Bob
Maxwell gave sad bucks for the Key Club’s recent hospitalization.
Pila’s
son is celebrating his 6th birthday for which she generously
contributed $6. President C is both happy and sad. He is happy that his you=
ngest
daughter is graduating with her PhD but sad that he has to fly to Minnesota=
for
the ceremony due to the terrorist incident.
Kevin
was $10 happy for his recent 10-day vacation with his family to Maine to vi=
sit
friends and relax – it was the longest vacation he could remember! Ba=
rt
gave a sad buck because somebody backed into Denise’s Porsche and den=
ted
it! (He was very nearly in tears, explaining that it was like “your c=
hild
being hurt”!
When
Bart inquired about the Secret Greeter both Howie (and of course) Gary stoo=
p up
and he promptly fined them both a buck for lying as HE was the Secret Greet=
er.
Bob A was the only unfriendly member but he had been Fine Free (before being
assigned the Joke of the Week) so…
Lt.
Governor-elect Maxwell spoke to us briefly about his upcoming term. One of =
his
projects is to assemble a Division-wide Directory of all clubs and their
officers. He is selling ads and welcomed any of us to buy an ad. A business
card ad is $30; one-half page is $60 and a full page is $100. Please talk w=
