STARTERS: P= rez Elect Greg opened the 3922nd meeting by banging a ladle on a = pot (the Prez apparently didn’t trust him with the bell). The Women’s Choir led us i= n God Bless America, Circle K Treasurer Maurice Ngo led the pledge, and Merle g= ave the invocation. GUESTS: Circle K Prez Maurice Ngo and Treasurer Thomas Nguyen were back to visit (they m= ust like the food), Jim Fucile was here today with friend/lover Nell Drummond, and Christine brought friend and Vice Principal of Hermosa Valley School, Shawn Smith with the hopes that he might become a potential member. Shawn was the originator of the = Surf Board Art project in Hermosa. BIRTHDAYS/A= NNIVERSARIES: The fine Hermosa Kiwanis Birthday Choir serenaded Earl Feys (7/20) and Carol Lawson (7/18). Very cool because last year our birthdays were the day of the Loreto Picnic and we missed the music. See, we remember such things. DRINK DISPENSER/FINK/OTHER FINES: Whit caught Jerry, Jane and Cary.= The sneaky Fink Bob McEachen caught Jerry, Dallas, Dr. Bob, Cary, Jane, Alice, Terry and even Judi (although Judi claimed to have kissed hi= m). THANKS: We received a nice thank-you=
from
scholarship recipient Stephanie Gelt and from the Crones and Colitis
organization. We got a plaq=
ue
from the Hermosa Beach Police “Angels” and auctioned off the
sticker and the pin. Pat lo=
ve was
the winning bidder. |
