SOUTH HILLS KIWANIS BULLETIN 11/12/09

MAC led the singing of the NATIONAL ANTHEM, and started it a wee bit on the high side, but we made it through. HARRY ANDERSON led the Pledge of Allegiance, and BILL MATTHEWS gave the invocation. TEX WILLIAMS Thought For The Day:

"In war time, many men and women did extraordinary things for

DICK BISHOP told about a surprise the City gave for JACK FIELDING on 11/11. The City of Covina arranged for a showing of a video of JACK'S flight in the P-51, and they gave JACK a box that contained a model of a P-51. Incidently, JACK'S daughter, Barbara, just got home from the hospital.

PREZ. COOKIE called on yours truly for making disparaging remarks in last week's bulletin, when I called her a wimp for the mild mannered way she has for extracting money for the general fund. That cost $10.00 for today, which is reasonable, but it is NOT slander, because Truth is a defense. ELTON'S cell phone went off during the meeting, and JOYCE CHAPMAN offered to and did pay $5.00 for ELTON, who was somewhat embarrassed, and kicked in $5.00 himself.

ANITA WHITE won the drawing which was worth $10.00, and she introduced DIANE FONSECA,who spoke about the "SWIM WITH MIKE" Program, which has been held annually for the past 29 years. It is a swim-a-thon that is held to raise money for the USC Physically Challenged Athletes Scholarship Fund. Their goal is to pave the way for individuals to overcome tragedies and strive for a better future. The SWIM WITH MIKE program has been expanded nationally and awards scholarships to schools other than USC. The 30th Annual SWIM WITH MIKE will be held 4/17/2010 at the USC MC DONALD'S SWIM STADIUM.
