Matt Fong was the greeter; Father Benton gave the invocation. The smoke detector blitz is Saturday June 26--Neil Grothen has posted some details about the event on the blog. Recovery in the Park is Friday evening July 9, followed the next day by the library fund raiser where Kiwanis will run a concession stand. Margaret Shaw needs volunteers to bring brownies and cinnamon rolls. Prep day for the Kaboom playground project is August 5 and the build day is August 7.
Mike Howie won the Atta Kiwanian for his work at the El Dia book and children fest.
Doc Lemonds and Dave Kempf are in Las Vegas at the Kiwanis International Convention. No doubt they are having a wonderful time. In fact, during Happy Basket, daughter and Mom Karen Kempf reported that things are going well. Also at Happy Basket time, Renee Johnson reported that she was on her way to the Twin Cities with a group of Lutheran youth. Chuck Hastings reported that Dave and Marge Peterson (Mary's parents) would be celebrating their 48th(?) wedding anniversary on June 26 from 2-4 pm at the KC hall. Darrell Nelson and members of the Chorus of the Plains will be singing at the Blue Moon this evening. Gaynor Watson is pleased to have his daughter and granddaughter (and one other relative) staying at with him until August 15. The family is from Shelton, CT. His granddaughter, Connie, attended today's meeting. Finally, on a less happy note, Rob Lloyd told us that Tim Groenseth is moving to South Dakota and will leave our membership.
The best part of today's meeting was Father Benton's heartfelt talk and slide presentation of his recent trip to the Holy Lands. Words cannot describe it adequately. I think it is safe to say we were all spell-bound.
