Welcome to South County Kiwanis               

We are an organization dedicated to serving children in the metropolitan area, as well as around the world.

12 members and no guests present. After announcements and communications, Ed made a motion seconded by Sherry to elect Mary Howard as our club delegate to the MO-ARK District Conven-tion at the end of July. Motion passed.

Jason Ameling stopped in to let us know he will not be able to join our club - a young growing family and business commitments prevent him from giving the time he would like to devote to it. The "Christmas in July" tree is up, lit, and full of ornaments. We hope the Ponderosa customers will be generous this month.

Louann then started our Independence Trivia Game. There were 30 questions that got progressively more difficult. Judy was the winner with 28 correct answers. Thank you, Louann, for a good game and a fun meeting.

Happy $$$: Sue for getting more than half of the answers correct; Ed for staining his fence this week; Vern for a good vacation trip last week; Gerry's granddaughter is doing well in summer school; Jeanne is happy to be driving again; Judy for a good trip to Washington D. C.; Sherry for her birthday; Bob J. for getting his trees trimmed.

9 members and 3 guests present: John Howard; Matt Phoenix, Mary's & John's friend from Iowa; Dr. Jason Ameling, prospective member.

Judy reminds us that Camp Wyman is again sponsoring a raffle with chances to win a "party room" at a future Cardinals game. If interested in taking a chance, bring $5 next week to buy in on a ticket.

Mary reported that we are tentatively planning to hold our 25th Anniversary Celebration on Thursday evening, October 1. She has already checked with Genesis, and several other members indicated they will check some other places and report back at our meeting next week (July 1). We can then decide on the location and begin making plans. Since we had a prospective new member today and not much other business, we went around the room explaining many of our club's activities and fundraisers.

In the Board Meeting, Secretary Rick read the minutes of our last meeting, and Treasurer Bob presented the Treasurer's Report. Both were accepted as presented. There was no further pressing business to take care of.

Happy $$$: Bob S. for his birthday and coming vacation; Ed & Rick for good doctor reports; Gerry's grandchildren all have summer jobs; Sue for her coming vacation; Carla & Bob J. for today's visitors; Mary for her dad's birthday being over; John for air conditioning; Matt is glad to be visiting; Jeanne for Bob bringing her today.

Ballooning, Don Caplan
June 17, 2009

Louann said that the BBQ will be postponed because she is getting knee replacement surgery in July and needs to see how her recovery goes. President Carla passed around some correspondence and then introduced today's speaker, Don Caplan.

Don Cpalan and his wife, Nicky, were pioneers in hot air ballooning in the US. His wife holds several world records in ballooning. He gave us a brief history of ballooning and then told several interesting and humorous stories of his experiences over the years.

Ms. Amy Mariott will be their new faculty sponsor.
