The
La Kawañian
June
9, 2004
Jim
Renolds, Guest Editor
Prior
to opening Martha Crockett played her beautiful music to entertain
us all. Then Ed Moulton led a spirited “Star Spangled Banner”.
Guests were Alice Wiley, wife of our speaker, Dick Barley of the AM
Club, Bob Peterson, and Past President of the Montrose Club who
brought an interclub. Tom Gilfoy brought Hugh Burten who is the
famous goat herder of the 320 goats on the hill above Descanso
Gardens.
Mary
Gant had happy bucks for her new tires. Paul Westmoreland for a
happy wrap-up on the soap box derby and Karl Johnson celebrated a
great football party at his home. Pat Anderson brought several
chamber of commerce guests, Howard Backer complained about missing
things. Is an audit in
order?
Daryal
Gant was proud of the young man who was the state wrestling champion
on at only 105 pounds. Dick de Grey was proud that Shirley got her
permanent Kiwanis badge and Hal Crockett was proud that Martha got
her permanent badge.
For
the Frosty Joke challenge, his story ended up in a casket.
However the good news was that He is still moving.
Bill Watts told of a kid who clucks like a chicken.
When mom was asked why she didn’t stop him, she answered,
“Because we need the eggs."
We
still need more volunteers for the pet clinic for June 26.
The wine and food tasting working committee will meet on Tuesday
JUNE 22. Pat Anderson
and Ken Lowe attended the La Cañada High school awards banquet where
over one quarter of the class got top scholarship awards.
Hal
Thomas got the white ball on the drawing.
That means that there is only one ball left in the
bag, the red one. (can you believe that?)
So the winning ticket for the next drawing should be worth
more than $500. Make
sure you buy some extra tickets for the GREAT RAFFLE.
Our
speaker was Charles Wiley, a reporter for 30
years. He is an outstanding speaker who travels a lot and knows much
about youth. He speaks
to many young people. Charlie's theory is that the media is
our number one problem in this nation. The media decides issues.
The
objective reporter tries to inform you. The advocate reporter tries
to influence you. You must review
the story carefully before you make up your mind who is right. Good
message and a good program.
