PROGRAM. President Elect, Program Chair, = and video producer extraordinaire Greg Wyatt presented his video from the International Convention in St. Louis, starring Rick Koenig, Greg Wyatt a= nd Nelson Tucker, with special guest appearances by Terry Bose and Carol Lawson. We were treated to fantastic pictures of beautiful St. Louis, the nifty arch and the little bio-pods you ride to get to the top of it, thrilling views of the mighty, muddy Mississippi River, scenic shots of power plants and St. Louis “traffic”. We w= ere regaled by Greg and Rick antics with the Nelson Tucker cut-outs that had = been placed all over town. Tucker here, Tucker there, Tucker everywhere.&n= bsp; We even had an “in-depth” interview with Mr. Tucker conducted by semi-pro interviewer Prez Rick. We had shots of the Opening Sess= ion, including presentation of the 92 flags of countries around the world that have Kiwanis clubs. A brief musical interlude by the “Beatles” and Rick, Terry and Carol enjoying the concert. They = were the only ones in the group of 5,000 or so who were young enough to love t= he Beatles and know the lyrics to the songs. Fortunately Greg fast forwarded through the speeches. We ho= pe everyone appreciated how much fun these conventions can be. Every Kiwanian should try to att= end at least one in his or her Kiwanis career.&= nbsp; They can be very inspiring, motivating and fun. They also make you really apprec= iate what a great Kiwanis Club we have in Hermosa Beach! Great job on the video, Greg!!!<= o:p>
