.....you shall love the lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength. Mark 12:30

The meeting started with the usual opening ceremonies and the invocation by Wally Flender. President Tony Proffitt, presiding over the last meeting of this Kiwanis year, ask if there were any guests. Guy Langenbrunner, attending his fall quarterly meeting, introduced his friend Doug Kohls. Since Doug is in the lawn service business, maybe when Guy makes the spring quarterly meeting, he will invite Doug back. If you think I'm picking on Guy, your right and he would be disappointed if I didn't.
