Welcome Rod, we are glad that you joined our great group! Many happy dollars were shared by members. Verle reported a can deposit of $64.25. Mark reported on the Bell Tower Festival Kiwanis food stand. Vern indicated that we should clear around $3,000 from the stand proceeds. Mark should be commended for another fine job of chairing this fundraiser. Thanks Mark! Linda reported on the Aktion Club activities over the weekend. They cleaned up the beer garden, popped popcorn, participated in the parade, and helped with the car/bike shows. They will have a meeting on Monday.

Steve Carlson had the program today. He introduced Mark Sawhill, who is the head varsity baseball coach at JSPC. Mark spoke about the team so far this season highlighting a win over #2 ranked Carroll Kuemper recently. There are 24 kids out for baseball and their record is currently 7-10.
