KIWANIS CLUB u THE CLUB ON THE MOVE!!u BERKELEY, CA
Another beautiful SUMMER day in the company of great friends (Fitch, Fay, Coe, Carpenters, Skrak, Rice, Goodman, Barnwell, Wong, Piercy, Egeberg, Haughin, T. Paradis, Leonard, Maxe, Hearn, Melandry, F. Bliss, Khong, L. Hannawalt, and "Busty") at a meeting of:
THE ROWDIEST
BERKELEY CLUB ON THE MOVE-
Early- and ready to take on a job- B.Skrak happily sat down at the ticket table. No complaints were heard, and the monies balanced in the end!! B. Rice and fiddler Bliss led us in song, and Rev. Fay blessed us and those who are protecting our shores, reminding us of our many freedoms. (This was followed by a chorus of "Amen" by T. Paradis and VC.) D. Wong carted around the retread fine box, with the first $$ being put in by L. Hannawalt who arrived late on the scene and had not shaken the hand of any Secret Greeter.
When Retread Pres. Egeberg asked for insurance to be purchased for failure to shake the hand of the SG, he was immediately questioned by F. Bliss as to whether or not he has a license to sell insurance. (Was there a Secret Greeter???)
The only guest was "Busty", a headless mannequin carted in by F. Bliss. She entered the best dressed contest- but didn't win!!!!! All she was wearing was a baseball hat. Bliss stated he was lonely, so TP and VC attempted to rectify that- to much laughter by all and then a quiet "I'm lonely, too" by none other than G. Maxe.
In spite of the fact that UCB is IN we had the company of Virginia and LTG Gail. Only thing this editor caught that is on the docket for them is a car wash fund raiser this Saturday in Pleasanton. PLEASE NOTE that the K Family dinner previously planned for this coming Friday, June 29th, at the Carpenter home has been cancelled due to lack of people around (or wanting to come..??). It'll be planned for later in the summer. Toooo bad- you're missing a wonderful BBQ and fruit salad affaire…
D. Melandry had documented proof that there ARE flying saucers in the air!! An untouched photo was passed around, indeed showing five (yes, 5!!) things floating in the beautiful summer air. An explanation appears later in this rag.
NOTES OF INTEREST:
1. Retread Pres. Egeberg gave $37 for 37 years of marriage, but he didn't say if they were happy or sad; thus this info comes under notes of interest, not JL$$$. We did sing to him (well, VC sang to him- but she sang HB, not HA).
2. Three jars of homemade jam (raspberry, strawberry and pineapple) were sold as fundraisers for the club… Thanks to Haughin, Paradis and Hannawalt for their donations of $10 each.
JJJJLLLL$$: J. Piercy delighted that the person he has been replacing the last two weeks will be back tomorrow. B. Carpenter a L$ that his
grandson would not get on the Tilden Park carousel- but he did enjoy the Little Farm. (The Kiwanis sign is still there!!) L. Hannawalt many J$s for an upcoming visit with son and family while they are in the states- and L$ that her grandchildren beat her at bowling and that her purse was stolen (She is, for a bit, a "cash carrying only" person). Rev. Fay a very, very, very J$ that young D. Wong joined the old man's table- thus adding beauty to the front of the room. B. Barnwell J$ that he met friends like the mannaquin at a garage sale. B. Rice was quite J for Frank the fiddler.
Our speakers today were many. Actually our scheduled speaker missed a flight for (?) and didn't make it.
We had a board meeting report from acting Sec. J. Piercy. We made a $100 donation to Bonita House, YPSO donations will be close to the $2000 mark- (you may still turn in money to the Foundation for this!!), a RIF distribution is due in July, P. Khong and D. Wong are hard a work on a website (and you did see D. roaming around the room with her laptop in hand looking for a connection somewhere!!), and we will have an interclub with San Leandro on July 17th when the BCC is closed down for repair work. So far 10 have signed up to go to that interclub.
Retread Pres. Egeberg then asked our member G. Maxe to give us a report on what he does! First words out of his mouth were "play golf". In the real world, George is a management consultant, and part of his "job" is finding business for himself. He works with small businesses, assisting with strategies and operations- and "people stuff". His next job will be with Triple A- (more than a small business!)- it is moving the main office in SF to the East Bay- and he anticipates many people problems to deal with. He does love playing golf- and gets a lot of business from that. He enjoys the Tilden golf course more than belonging to a "club", and states that during the summer there are many children on that course.
As stated further up in this rag, D. Melandry had that picture of UFO's… They were actually kitchen lights that reflected into the sky when he was taking the picture… really was authentic looking! We thought he should have inserted D. Wong and her laptop into the picture.
The barrister D. Leonard then gave us a chance to ask questions about the upcoming new event that will be replacing Classic Taste: It will be an Octoberfest- to be held at the same venue (St. Mary Magdalen Church) with the assistance of the members of the church. Duane states that this will be a social event, but one that will raise funds for community service (ie- a donation to the church??). Raffles will be of the German variety and small and fun in size, the bar will serve German beers and wine and other stuff!!, there will be an "um pa pa" band, attendance will be bolstered by church members, and discussion is underway about inviting other clubs and community persons. This event will be held in October- and it is wonderful to see the planning stages already started!! Great job.
Unable to come up with another name, Retread Pres Egeberg led us in the Pledge of Allegiance- which is always done at the END of each meeting of the
Rowdiest Club On The Move

"Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight.
Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward.
Your life will never be the same again."
