Newsletter June 17, 2008

Tuesday:  June 17, 2008
   

Maybe it is the warm weather but it sure was a rowdy crowd.  Prez Khong reigned them in quickly with a ring of the bell.  B. Rice lead us in song, the missing presence of B. Price and E. Letvitch were noted and sorely missed.  J. Piercy lead us in invocation.  B. Faye is on the fine box chasing down those who were guilty enough to pay some insurance money even though Prez Khong did not chose a secret greater. 

 

Lt. Gov F. Bliss questioned the legality of such insurance sales. 

 

Alex, Augustine, Cheriz, Joe, Max, Gail, Tiffany were our CKI crowd.  Quite some showing for summer really.  They went to Kiwanis DCM,  Saturday at Le Conte clean up with Kiwanians.  They then ran from that to attend the June Golden gate DCM with BBQ banquet.  There was lots of service going on this weekend.  Friday is ROCK summer camp counselors, Van's Warp tour, CKI at YPSO concert. 

 

PK also announces the semi-guest Tony Ng, super member who we haven't seen much of.  Hope this is the start of something new.

 

General Announcements

YPSO Jack notes poor showing of Kiwanians, though full house.  Soda and Cookies sold ok.  Great concert on their way to Australia and New Zealand. 

 

CKI Joe's Europe report.  Missed his flight not because of sleepiness as we had all suspected but because the trains were confusing, even though accompanied by a French couple. 

 

Board meeting tonight on Heinz at 5:20p at Ed's Office/basement.   Virginia announces that she is so busy that she has a conference call that and insists on it being at 5:15p.  Unsure as to whether that 5 minute change was made.
