on July 10th, Sunday

Regarding our Club Literacy Program,
Harriet showed the Club Book
Labels which will go in all books
donated to the schools. In addition to
the 15% discount provided by Once
Upon a Time bookstore, Maureen
(the owner) added several extra
books at no charge to the Verdugo
Woodlands book bag.

Pat Anderson recommended the June
23rd Tri-Chamber Mixer
at the Valley Sun. Kiwanis Aloha
Shirts will go along with the
Hawaiian theme. The mixer starts at
5:30 p.m. and will feature Polynesian
food and a Mai Tai bar.
THE
PROGRAM
Frank Ragazzi
introduced JPL’s John Koppedge,
who proceeded to give us a wonderful
visual tour of the Cassini Mission to
Saturn. John had spectacular
images of Saturn, the rings around
Saturn, and several Saturn moons. The
Cassini was launched in 1997, flew past
Venus in 1998-99, and went into orbit
around Saturn a year ago. The program
time passed much too quickly, and
John graciously stayed to answer
questions.

Sad (on Bill Watts’
account) because the iced tea glasses
were small again.

better with the bandage). Also
Happy/Proud he had lost 25 pounds
in the last six weeks.
Joan Peters …
Happy she could present two $750
scholarships from our Club to Flintridge

donations of $135 at the Soap Box Derby
providing refreshments.
George Lutes …
Happy that two of the Terrific Kids
were also in his K-Kids Club.
