Raleigh are expected to come through with an additional $50,000
toward the $250,000 donation goal.
Pancake Day Report
Scott Redding reported that all is on schedule but everyone needs to
make plans to help out the full day as well as with setup at 9:30am
Monday, March 15th. Committee assignments, tickets and signs were
passed out. Committees are pretty much the same as last year.
Rusty really needs those spouses to sign up to help mix batter!
This past Wednesday morning, WKXR tied in a great plug for Kiwanis
Pancake Day with a wire story about a leaking syrup tanker in Ohio. A
mouth-watering 2 minute description of our pancake day was shared by
Program Director Larry Reid.
Meeting 2/17/04 Marvin Caviness reported that Helen had been
in the hospital with pneumonia. In announcements, president Dean
noted that the Salvation Army needs cash donations due to fire at the
Thrift Store. Dave Rowe introduced Denise Davis (Jack Mitchell's
sister) with Safety Network as our business spotlight. Safety Network
provides drug testing and training. Sheriff Litchard Hurley was the
program speaker. The "country boy from Flint Hill" has
served as Sheriff since 1989 and provided a run down on various
divisions over last year. Plain clothes vice officers have closed 7
meth labs and confiscated about 4000 pounds of marijuana. Civil and
Patrol divisions cases have doubled in 10 years. Detectives worked
3785 cases including 2 homicides (one deputy shot in the line of
duty.) 5188 inmates were booked into the 196 bed jail over the course
of a year. Other highly effective positive programs include DARE,
CARE, JSA boot camp, and school resource officers. 43 Kiwanians and 4
guests attended. In a suspicious turn of events, President Dean again
won the $8 jackpot. No arrests were made.
Meeting, 2/10/04 - Valentine's Night
Red was the color as Dean Lail opened our meeting with 64 people in
attendance, 35 Kiwanis members and 29 guests. The crowd
"looked" much better with our spouses in attendance. Thanks
to all that came!
Dottie Lewis was great on the piano, as usual as she played for us.
Tom Cunningham led us in a couple of songs, including "Le Me
Call You Sweetheart." A meal was enjoyed by all. President Dean
gave a report on an interclub attended by Earlie Hill, Darrell Lewis,
Quinton Hussey and Dean Lail (String & Splinter.) Rusty Hammond
passed out sign-up sheets for the ladies to help on "Pancake
Day," Tuesday, March 16, 2004. It's that time! We were concerned
that our program had to be cancelled but at the last moment Claudine
showed up to save the day! Rene Henderson (As Claudene) kept the
crowd laughing with her jokes and stories - embarrassing a number of
people every chance she could (Wake-up Dean.) Rene ended here program
with a beautiful version of "Amazing Grace." A good time
was enjoyed by all. Reporter: Harvey Wood, Asheboro Printing, 152 S.

Meeting 02/03/04 Dottie Lewis and Earlie Hill led us in music
this evening. Jeff Miller lifted up our sick members for healing and
asked for blessings upon our meal. Tonight we had 43 Kiwanians, 4 Keb
Clubbers, and 7 other guests.Dave Rowe introduced Tim Garris, partner
with Garris-Brantley
Design Construction, our spotlight business of the week. Tim started
this business in 1990 with his partner, Pat Brantley. They are
involved with home design and construction, design drafting services,
interior design, property management, and real estate sales. Their
attention to detail, craftmanship, and hard work over the years has
led to their success in our community. Our program was introduced by
Dick Peterson. Peggy Allen spoke on behalf of the Red Cross
concerning heart health, what everybody should know. She showed us a
video on heart attack warning signs and then had a question and
answer session. February is heart month which made tonight's program
a timely subject. President Dean Lail won the jackpot! In closing,
remember that Tuesday the 10th is Ladies Night; don't forget to bring
your sweetheart.
