1/29/08

It’s cold outside, but warm in here. That might explain the excellent attendance we were experiencing. S. Hearn on tickets despite her injuries and E. Letvitch on the fine box. Soon after the meeting began, it was rumored that the fine box position was bought off of E. Letvitch by no other than professional rainy day golfer, G. Maxe. Song leader was F. Bliss, is B. Rice taking a break this week? B. Faye lead invocation.

We had a couple friendly faces of the younger variety, (though these days, that line is hopefully starting to blur a bit) three happy CKIers, VJ, Gail and Joe. Joe had three announcements, he said:

1. Hurrays for last week’s event at Bliss’ house.

2. Upcoming event ROCK where kids play sports with cool young adults

3. CKI General meeting tonight at 7pm. The room is 100 GPB in the north side of campus. (depicted below)

J. Piercy reported on the state of our 85th anniversary dinner. No location yet, but dinner will be less than 30 dollars.

Kiwanis Midyear is coming up on March 8, a Saturday. Berkeley Kiwanis covers your registration and your interclub lunch. Let J. Rosano know if you are coming so we can register.

Key club Conclave is this Saturday, J. Rosano and D. Haughin will be spending some time with both Oakland Tech and Berkeley Key Club while they vote for their elected official.

B. Carpenter reports that the interclub at Hayward Castro Valley was our 15th of the year! Hayward will be meeting at Carrows tonight at 7pm for their takeover.

Lt. Governor E. Letvitch had an exciting announcement to make at this point: He did not have a badge on and wanted to contribute some big money.

We have our own takeovers coming up:

Feb 5: Berkeley High School Key Club

Feb 12: UCB Circle K

Mar 11: Oakland Tech Key Club

NEW MEMBER ALERT!

Welcome Jessica Padilla to our club! She was inducted this afternoon.

D. Leonard reports an upcoming social event, St. Patrick’s day dinner will indeed be at the Paradise’s house on March 15. There will also be a trip to the shooting range, and perhaps a firing range? Date to be determined. (Maybe to prepare for a hunting trip to S. Dakota?)

G. Maxe reports that Scholarship applications are out! Due date is 3/28.

Membership chair, D. Wong reports that the membership committee will be meeting 8pm next Tuesday at Brennans for social times. Come by and enjoy an Irish beer or coffee.

HAPPY AND SADS

Lots of Happy sads today!

B. Carpenter reports much :0( for having to leave early today.

J. Piercy is :0) that E. Letvitch has a new member to take care of him.

J. Padilla is :0) for her anniversary and :0( because she also has to leave early.

E. Goodman reports :0( for her missed meeting and :0( for food poisoning last week.

D. Leonard is :0) to show off his new fire extinguisher, though I didn’t hear what it was for, was that for fires, wasps or fun?

B. Skrak is :0) for his 3 weeks in Hawaii, he does look a little more tan considering it’s the middle of winter still.

F. Bliss is :0) for Jessica, our newest member and :0) for our guest and his sister in law.

S. Hearn is :0) that her leg feels a little better, :0( because she has to wear pressure socks and :0) that she gets to buy new shoes because of it.

B. Rice is :0( that he was late to the meeting, and :0) that there was no secret greeter.

At this point, the secret greeter, (me!) D. Wong, stood up to bust those who neglected their handshake duties. We had two such people: J. Egeberg and B. Lowman, who had walked in late.

Our Guest speaker for the day was a Bliss, Frank’s sister in law, who came to recruit people and businesses to move to S. Dakota as well as speak on the poverty which exist there. She promises that if you were interested, the Governor Rounds himself will give you a call.

With just a couple ten thousand dollars you can buy yourself a great mansion, a couple acres and shoot a mountain lion. Live cheap with no or low property tax (good with your mansion)

Also come to visit, there are prairies, badlands and corn palaces.
