PRESIDENT BARBARA GRECO'S first meeting started with some sad news. SPENCER HATTON'S son Jed passed away on Tuesday. Our thoughts and prayers go out to Spencer and his family. The funeral is Monday, the 14th at 4 p.m. at Englewood Christian Church. A request has been made for cookies to serve after the funeral. If you can bring some cookies (purchased or home made), please drop them off at the church at the time of the service or before to BECKY SCHOLL at 104 North 4th Avenue.

and some good news...President Barb's daugher is doing well and they have a new baby son that is very small (2+pounds) but doing good.

BARBARA POOL greeted our members at the door. AUDREY RICE led us in America and JAY CARROLL gave us our invocation.
ARCHIE SUTTON introduced our guest, Penny Baker, sales manager at both Gateway Motels and presently a member of Selah Kiwanis. She is looking at moving to our club as it would be more convenient for her. CHERIE ERGESON hosted Penny thereby exchanging her snake for a dog and who else would get the dog but RICH LEWIS.

President Barb shared the Club Assessment that resulted from the survey she did of the club. It will be presented in the Bulletin soon. 42 responded. The main responses were that members want the club to grow and
serve our community.

President Barb then introduced us to "President Barbie" who looked much like our President. MEL LIGHT got to take President Barbie home to one of his daughters.

J Blake gave a rousing thank you to all day captains and workers and we gave J a big thank you for successfully pulling off another Bingo year. The results are as follows:
