We had 34 members in attendance today. Les visited from the Aktion Club and John Nelson was a guest. Several happy dollars were shared. John Green had a great time on his vacation, but had to borrow a dollar in order to talk about it!! Dave Jaskey encouraged everyone to take a look at the Silent Auction set-up at the courthouse and to ask people to go bid. We have 100% participation for the Silent Auction! The grilling at Deal's Orchard was a huge success with approximately 2,400 items grilled. Thanks to everyone who helped. Kiwanians were asked to help with the Habitat for Humanity house at 901 W. Washington this Saturday the 18th from 8:30-2:00. The sign-up sheet is going around for helpers with the Pancake Breakfast on October 25th. Vern reported recycling of $46.60. Hollie reminded the club that the Aktion Club meets Monday, the 20th, at 4:30 pm. Gerry Bugg will be attending as it is the Installation of Officers for the Aktion Club. The Aktion Club will be having a Halloween Dance on October 26th from 2-4 pm.

Bill Monroe had the program. He asked Dave Heupel, the high school music teacher, and 3 students, Annie Palmer, Michael Kennedy and Nadia Fisher, to speak about All State Music. The students sang a few songs and spoke about their experience. All three students have competed prior to this year and are looking forward to the opportunity again. Thank you, Bill, for a very nice program and Good Luck to the each of the students competing in All-State.
