Community Since 1945
Meeting Date: April 23,
2009
President Jim
Leder opened our meeting with the Pledge and Bill Hague led
us in God Bless America. Rev. Hague gave the prayer. President Jim reminded
all attendees at today's meeting to email him
“the reason you joined Kiwanis.” He has received
two comments and wants to hear from everyone in the club. Bring
to the next meeting or send to
drno812@aol.com. It
was good to see Lynn Hounslow, who was the first female
President of our club. Gary Boswell was back and we are
glad he has survived the 2009 tax season. We all signed get-well cards
for Bernadeen Zivkovic, who had an accident at the Y and
was sent home to recuperate and for Liz Jackson, wife of
Marvin Jackson, Lt. Governor-elect for District 17, who had
surgery on her back. Congratulations were given to Bob Cressy
who will soon be celebrating his 15th wedding anniversary.
