KARL CORPRON was greeter of the day, welcoming Past Lt. Governor Darlene Green; Carly Cambridge, guest of LORI CROW; and Mike Milford ever present guest of CHRISTINE COTE. JULIUS GLOVER led us in song, followed by JO MCCLAIN’s invocation.

Lee Maras, sponsored by GENE ROSTVOLD, was welcomed as out latest new member. He is the Yakima School District Athletic Director. We will hear more from him next week during Classification Talks.

Darlene Green personally invited us all to the Kamiakin installation to be held September 25th at Howard Johnson. She also announced that Kamiakin will be moving their Thursday noon meetings to the Airport at that start of their new year.

ROGER BELL had two announcements:
Sign up for Bingo shifts as soon as possible. The CWSF will run from Sept 26th through October 5th.
One of his Lt. Governor initiatives will be a Flagship Club program, which will include attending at least 1/2 the district installations. He passed a signup sheet that listed upcoming installations in the hopes that we will have interclubs during the installation season.

STEVE EMHOFF had two announcements:
He is in the process of updating the roster. He will be e-mailing information soon, please respond in a timely manner.
The Kiwanis Club of Yakima will be holding their installation banquet Tuesday, October 7th. Social and auction hour from 6-7, with dinner at 7. Steve let everyone know that the Board has approved paying for a member and guest to this exciting evening. Any additional guest will cost $25. He passed a signup sheet for those in attendance to chose their entree.

The Yakima Youth Olympics is coming Saturday, September 20. From 10 to 3 at the Yakima Athletic Club. For more information on this third annual free community event, call 453-9151.

We all paid a dollar for the privilege of NOT having a fill-in sergeant for the day as SPENCER HATTON missed his assigned duty. There were, however, plenty of brags to help bolster the kitty.

Bingo was called by BECKY SCHOLL and won by STAN PRATT. 50/50 winning ticket holder Chris Cote, who had her ticket drawn by her very own guest, drew a queen. By losing, the prize will grow from its present $634.50 to whatever we make it next week.

TRESSA SHOCKLEY introduced the meeting’s program, Perry Tech’s new Medical Office Administration Program headed by Lashel Church. Lashel introduced the presentation by the first all female class in the history of Perry Tech.
The 20 members of the Medical Office Administration Program then took over. They went over a brief history of Perry and then delved into some of the “Soft Skills” they learned during their year of instruction. Different class members talked of how they run class like a business in order to prepare the students for real life. After the basic courses, they move on to medical specific curriculum, including extensive training in Microsoft Office. Graduates of the Medical Office Administration Program are able to take optional testing and receive advanced certification as Microsoft Certified Application Specialist, a National Certified Medical Office Administrator, or National Certified Insurance & Coding Specialist. These advanced certifications will enable the students to get better paying jobs, which Lashel estimated will pay between $14 - 18 per hour. The students ended by inviting anyone to the open house on October 9th from 3:30 - 7:00 p.m. at Perry. The next Medical Office Administration Class starts April 6th.
