The last meeting of the Oct. 1, 2006- Sept. 31, 2007
term was led by incoming Pres. Khing Khong, (which means that he will have 53 weeks in his term, while Pres. Retread Egeberg only had 51 weeks!) PKK is getting smoother by the week… and we are in for a great new year.
George M. was once again collecting your money at the ticket table. He was taking notes… when asked what they were he replied "my golf scores". Bob R. had assistance from Frank B on the piano (well, not on it but playing it) and led us in a wonderful rendition of GBA. Evie G. asked for blessings on our Kiwanis work. When acting PKK called on the fine collector, Denise H., he was interrupted by his boss, Frank B. Frank, with the able assistance of his better half, Roberta, presented PKK with his new fine box- a great display of Khing Khong's loves of CAL and Poker. It's a poker table shaped box, with sides made of top notch poker hands (representing the best helpers in Kiwanis!!!) and the CAL logo on the backs of cards in the box. UNIQUE!!- and PKK was impressed!!
Ed L. brought along his grandson Brian, and Linda
H. brought her friend Pat Sparks to join in the commraderie of a BK lunch. Circle K was represented by Joe, Gail, Virginia and Ashley (who led us in the pledge at the end of the meeting, but she thought it was to be the Circle K pledge)!! We love you, Ashley!!!!!
Circle K was busy this past weekend with an indoor carnival, Marine Headlands, and other stuff. Their meeting tonight will draw hopefully about 200!! Their K family dinner at House of Curry was fun, and the next K family dinner is already scheduled for October 19th. SO- this is early notice… get the date on your calendar so more Kiwanians can attend!!
FTC (Fall Training Conference) is the 1st weekend of November in Sonora area- TONS of fun-
PKK announced this coming weekend's Key Club RTC which will be attended by 8 Oakland Tech Key Clubbers with PKK and VC + one parent.
Three interclubs since the last time Interclub Chair Bill C. reported: Four attended Moraga Valley, five at the Albany El Cerrito installation and five at Albany El Cerrito breakfast this am. ANYONE going to visit clubs in the next two weeks should take Oktoberfest tickets to sell. Call VC.
BY THE TIME YOU READ THIS RAG….
A work opportunity at Emerson school shelving 4000 books will have been accomplished by whoever shows up. This was last minute notice… but there will be some of us there!! 10-12am… Should be fun!!
RIF will be!! Two events in October. 2nd week on Wednesday (Head Start partner sites) and 4th week (ALL sites- about 650 kids)… Sign ups next week.
JJJJLLLL$$: Almost all were JJJ!!!
Many J$$$ to see Ed L. walking around with his
cane. He is healing nicely and feeling good, and is happy to still be walking. We enjoy your great smile, Ed!! Bob R. shared that his grandfather was in the 1st graduating class at CAL. Linda H. celebrated three years of wedded bliss with Bill- and is thrilled that two of her quilts are
being judged in a quilt contest. Duane L, after three years of rowing on land, has branched out into the water. Is is true he will be rowing around an estuary- somewhere in the area of San Quentin??? Sandy H. enjoyed a week of babysitting her grandkids. Frank B. gave one of the few L$ that PKK forgot to call on a secret greeter and thus was not doing his job of selling insurance. As well, Frank and Roberta will be in South Korea for two to three weeks visiting their son and family. Bob B. put in the other L$ that he had to leave early due to a committee meeting. Circle Ker Joe put in J$ for the use of the Carpenter van on so many of their projects. Otherwise they would be walking!! Jack R. $$$ for Ed and prayer $$ for CAL bears against Arizona State this coming weekend. VC for Tahoe, cooking for her family, and JJJ$$ to boost up Pres. ReTread's koffers. Bill C put in apology $$ for having to sit at the table with Linda & Virginia – or was that Virginia & Linda- and that he didn't trade badges with Bill H- but it wouldn't have mattered anyway. WELL… with this one you HADTO BE THERE!!!
Another note of interest: OKTOBERFEST!!
As per Duane L:
"The Berkeley Kiwanis Club and St. Mary Magdalen Parish will co-sponsor an Oktoberfest after the 5:30pm Mass on Sat, Oct. 13. SELL THOSE TICKETS. MORE ARE AVAILABLE FROM VC.
Time for the speaker of the day.
Kinwood DeVore, Executive Director of the Metropolitan Fresh Start House, a State of California licensed and certified 24-hour live-in, faith-based substance abuse recovery facility for men. Kinwood has been a minister for the past 35 years, 8 years in Alameda County as Chaplain at Santa Rita. Through his years of experience in community challenges he has seen that people can change their way of thinking when they have positive role models. He himself had the experience
of a father/husband in the home as he grew up, and is of the persuasion that with man as a provider in the home we can deal with wounded hearts, minds and bodies. Building relationships with positive role models is vitally important. Kinwood is a DYNAMIC speaker… one hero of his is Winston Churchill who was able to stir the spirit of the people- bringing light through the darkness. WE need to be able to do this within our families and our communities. It is up to US to be involved in our communities. The Metropolitan Fresh Start House now has a place in Oakland, thanks to the assistance of Bill & Linda H. To learn more about this program check out www.metropolitanfreshstart.org .
If you missed today, you missed a WONDERFUL SPEAKER. Thank you, Kinwood.
And so another 90 minutes has passed. Hope to see some of you at Emerson School tomorrow… and…
OCTOBER 6th… 12 to 3…. Installation of our outgoing ReTread and incoming Khing Khong. $20 per… BBQ with fabulous food… This is an event NOT TO MISS!!
