ANNOUNCEMENTS: Pres. To be Jim Ackland told of his trip to the Kiwanis national convention and how charged up he was about what other clubs are doing. A small club of 35 raises over $150,000 a year at Christmas time by telling its townspeople to don't send out Christmas Cards etc. but instead give the money to Kiwanis for its many charitable works. He went on further to discuss the resolutions adopted particularly to wipe out Iodine Deficiency in children. He received generous applause.

joke Dr. Allen Perry Sr was tripped up for his Wedding Anniversary and he told a joke too;
Dr. Jeannine Sheinhorn was putting in happy, sad, and hopeful bucks so fast I couldn't keep up except she's trying to find her hamburgers she bought and wanted everyone who hasn't signed her sheet to do so to provide quicker access to her badge;
