There were 37 members in attendance today with Les and Brenda visiting from the Aktion Club. Vern F. reported a can deposit of $74.35 for the last several weeks. President Goshon requested that the club board meeting in be moved to November 8th. Updates on the Aktion Club and the Services Auction were heard. Vern F. will be placing an order with Kiwanis International soon and will bring the catalog next week if members want to order additional items.

Bill Monroe had the program today. He introduced Jeff Schroeder who spoke about the Jefferson Fieldhouse. The Jefferson Fieldhouse is a 10,500 sq. ft. indoor sports facility with specialized training programs available for youth of all ages. The goal of The Fieldhouse is to train great athletes - inside and out. We believe powerful life lessons can be learned through sports. Every young person can be challenged to learn the power of hard work, the asset of a strong body and strong mind, and the incredible benefits of competition, team work, dedication, consistency, and clean living. They also offer a Kid Fit program. Kid Fit is a 4-week training session offered to children Kindergarten through 4th grade. The program is designed to enhance balance, flexibility, speed, and agility - kids get fit and have fun at the same time! The fieldhouse will serve as a practice facility for MS & HS wrestlers this season. They will also be adding batting cages and a pitching mound for winter training opportunities. Thanks to Bill & Jeff for a very interesting and informative update!
