There were 30 members in attendance with Les & Mindy visiting from the Aktion Club. Many special occasions and happy dollars were shared. Vern reported a can deposit of $77.50. Tim B. reported on the success of the BTF Motorcycle events on Saturday. President Monthei thanked Mark Bauer and his family for a successful Bell Tower food stand. He also thanked all Kiwanians who helped Friday and Saturday. There were 18 people working in the food booth at one time on Saturday afternoon. Aktion Club also had a successful weekend with popcorn sales, their parade entry, and dance on Sunday afternoon. They raised around $500 selling dance tickets.

Tim Christensen had the program today. He spoke about the upcoming September bond issue for the Greene County School District. He shared some of the major issues to be addressed with the project including efficiencies of having only two buildings, and having safe & modern facilities. He addressed how existing buildings will be used in the future if the project is approved by the voters. It will take at least two years for the building project to be completed after a successful vote of over 60 percent of district patrons. Tax rates from various conference and neighboring districts were also shared in a handout. Tim offered to come back in the next month or so to share more information and concept drawings as the bond issue campaign gears up. Thanks to Tim for providing information on the project!
