SOUTH HILLS KIWANIS BULLETIN 4/09/09

The meeting was opened with the singing of "GOD BLESS AMERICA" led by yours truly. STEVE SHERMAN led the Pledge to the Flag, and ELTON
CHATFIELD gave the invocation. TEX WILLLIAMS' Thought for the day:
"The steam that blows the whistle never turns the wheel"
Chuck Buenger

Guests included: TOM PALMERI II, who is graduating with straight A's, and has a wide selection of colleges that he can choose from; MARIE PALMERI, Tom's wife, COOKIE FORD'S sister, COLEEN; LILY JIMENEZ, ROGER POSSNER, and Past President ERNIE ALTVATER.

Additional Pancake Breakfast tickets were passed out, which makes 30 altogether, but you only have to sell/buy/or give away 20. VJ MAC gave a little sales pitch to JOYCE CHAPMAN, who said she just buys 20 tickets, and MAC told her how to sell 20 or 30.

COOKIE paid $5.00 for being late, and JOYCE CHAPMAN paid an extra for the great Cordan Bleu. TOM PALMERI has been working hard recently, and his sad tale of woe brought tears to Prez. Don's eyes. So, TOM caught up for all the meetings he has missed, and gave a check for all of his Pancake Breakfast tickets, which was a $100.00 or more, plus another $100, and he filled out the papers for the state for the Kiwanis
Foundation, which any attorney would charge $200.00. I am not sure, but he may have given some mote money. I hope that our recorder got it all down.

KEN MILLER had the winner for the Pot, and drew the ACE of Spades and won $50.00.

ROGER POSSNER of the Covina Library was prepared to present a slide /video about the Covina Library, but there was a technical failure. However, he said the Covina Library was no longer in danger of closing due to lack of funds. LILY JIMENEZ spoke about a Tutoring program. About the only thing I caught was that there were 18 Tutors
who volunteer their time.

Maybe someone else ought to write a summary of what the speakers say, because this old man cannot hear very well.
