...the angle said to the woman, "He is not here; for he has risen, as he said." Matt. 28:5,6

President Joyce Schroeder, embarking on the second half of her presidential term, opened the meeting in the usual manner with pledge, song, and invocation by Tom White.

Our guests today were Tom Riggs salesman for Western Hills Windows and Lois Cockerham from the Community Press.

New member, (a title sticks with you until your replaced by a newer member), Scott Becker was introduced by Pres. Joyce. The other new member, Ron Forte is busy developing all those family photos we took Easter Sunday. Why do four persons armed with four cameras need four shots of the same thing, then get double prints besides?

Report on Dick Mather is encouraging. He is feeling better, but is still in Christ Hospital and welcomes visitors. John Nordmeyer had minor surgery and is home doing fine. He hopes to return next Tuesday. Jim Cupito is undergoing treatment and was not at the meeting. Jim will be needing transportation to and from the hospital. Contact Bob Rinear if you can help.

Accusations and rumours are abound pertaining to Dan Kipp and his sudden and unexpected generosity. It is rumoured Dan not only bought some members lunch last week, but he also provided transportation to a meeting for Pres. Joyce. We better keep an eye on Dan!

Jane Reuter and Bob Rinear gave a progress report on the Rose Bloom Boom. We have 334 tickets in circulation with about 75 paid. We had a motto with friutcake, "sell it or eat it". All outstanding tickets need to be sold. A word of caution on reservations for the RBB night at The Farm. Tables seat 4 or 6 only and can not be pulled together (The Farm's rule). No preference to location will be permitted. Contact Tony Proffitt early with the number in your party and tables will be reserved. The earlier you call the better your chance of your group being together. If you are not pleased with this arrangement volunteer for the job next year and make your own rules.

Gene Simpkins, who lives in the country where eggs are cheaper, is giving a dozen fresh eggs (you know they are fresh when the "do do" is still on the shell) to members that give a little extra to Kiwanis. So far Dan Kipp, Cliff Franklin, and Tom White have received this award.

Cliff Franklin announced the annual Student Recognition Day is April 27. He also mentioned when he takes the podium he sometimes is awarded free vegetables as well as eggs.

Cincinnati Police Officers Rich Minella and Greg Kittle gave us a report on the latest crime stats in the area.

Ed Flick spoke on behalf of vice president candidate Paul Hogue. Ed highlighted some of Paul's accomplishments with Kiwanis and was brief, which should help Paul get votes.

Walt Luthy another VP candidate won the "name the pig contest" with the name of "Wilhelmina Swinette". He received a clock radio and lots of groans for that one.

Kim Munafo announced she will be taking a position in Hamilton, Ohio and will have to transfer to the Hamilton Kiwanis. We hate to lose Kim, but she is excited about the move, especially since it reduced her drive to work from 54 miles to just 4 miles. Kim if you happen to be in the area on Tuesday stop in for a visit. Kipp will treat you to lunch!

Cliff Shrive from the Cincinnati Water Works gave us an interesting program on the inter workings of the Water Works. Cincinnati has some of the best drinking water in the country, thanks to our carbon filtration facilities. Mr. Shrive reminded us it's not the water that so expensive, it's the sewer charges.
