News on Upcoming
meetings:
I
wasn’t at the last meeting and can’t report on it but can provide some news
on future meetings and events.
Upcoming Meeting on
March 10
Bill
Siegel called to say he was on his way to Florida but had arranged a speaker for
this meeting. Her name is Ellen Gieszl
and she will talk about River
City. It sounded like something from the Music
Man “We’ve got trouble, right here in River City”. But it is about the Hamilton County River
City Correctional Facility that is an alternative to jail for non-violent felony
offenders. It provides a lot more help
and rehabilitation than jail does. Ms.
Gieszl needs a ride to the meeting, and I will arrange a ride for her. I will not be at the meeting since my wife
and I will be baby sitting in Tucson,
Arizona next week. Raffels will provide food for the meeting
so you don’t need to bring your own.
Division Meeting March
11
The
Division 7 meeting will be at Buca di Beppo in Rookwood Commons at 6:00pm on
March 11. Let Lynn McNay know if you
plan to attend.
Meeting March 24
Ray
Miller from the Montgomery
arts Commission will attend this meeting to talk with us about the Art
Show. I wrote a letter to Cheryl
Hilvert telling her that Montgomery Kiwanis was not going to do the Art Show
any more. I thanked the City for their
help in the past and said if the Arts Commission or another group wanted to
do an art show we would be willing to assist them. I called Ray Miller, and he said the Arts
Commission was doing an Artists in the Park show May 3 at Swaim park
featuring ceramics and also antique appraisals by Mark Mallette. He said they were interested in a fall art
event for youth artists.
Bob
Bick will also give final instructions for the Easter Egg Hunt April 3.
Easter Egg Hunt April
3
Bob
Bick is stuffing 864 eggs for the egg hunt.
Kiwanis members should be at Montgomery Park
at 8:00AM. The rope will be dropped at
10:00AM and we should be all done by 11:00.
We need to get publicity out
for this event. I will notify the
Montgomery Moms immediately. Bob said
the construction at the park would be completed by April 3.
