Beth Klingele STEVE EMHOFF greeted us, LINDA HACKET gave a thoughtful prayer and DON DAVIDSON brought his daughter Dr. Sylvia Severn as his guest. We had an interclub from Selah, Darlene Green, Pinky Paxton, Barbara Greis, and President and Lt. Gov designate Bill Powell. DON KOHLER brough his better half Evelyn and we welcomed once again Denise Ghorskey and Brenda Smith, potential members from Evergreen Financial.
PAT ANDREOTTI announced our final Camp Roganunda work day will be Saturday July 17th. Everyone is welcome. Whether you have time to work or not, please come for lunch and celebrate over 80 years of a great camp and Kiwanis project.
KARL CORPRON thanked all for a great Rock the Gap. The event was a huge success.
CHRIS CHRISTMAN called bingo which was won by RUSS ROBERTS. PRESIDENT CHRISTINE won then lost the 50/50 drawing. Sargeant PHYLLIS MEYERS quizzed us on Fathers in anticipation of Father's Day, did you know it originated in Spokane?
DON DAVIDSON introduced our speaker Kiwanian David Helseth. David has been pastor at Englewood Christian Church for the past 23 years. David spoke about his mission trip to South Korea in May. S. Korea has a population of 6.6 million all living on real estate about 1/2 the size of Washington State. There is a complex war going on between N and S Korea. Most Koreans live on less than $2 per day and poverty and prostitution are a rampant. One of the good things David witnessed are the workings of church run shelters targeting girls that have been trapped in the prostitution trade. Church workers help the girls get out of the business by providing a place to stay, education and health care.
