The Lord is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in Him. Psalm 28:7

 

    By the attendance of last Tuesday's meeting, many people were out enjoying this fine summer weather. I guess you can't blame them. The frost will be on the pumpkins by this weekend. That's just a saying us country folks spout this time of year. Fall has never been my favorite time of year. It's so sad to see all the flowers freezing their little buds off.

    On to business, Lt. Scott Seay of the Salvation Army gave us an opening prayer.

    Our sick list incudes Diane Dunn, our food server. She has a case of XX pneumonia. Charles St. Charles, Frank's father is currently undergoing dialysis. Fr. Willig is weak and receiving kemo. Edgar gave us a mini homily. His faith in God is an inspiration to all of us. Dick Mather generously reminded us that he does have a van with a wheel chair lift if needed.

    Officer Brown gave us the crime stats for our area, 204 in all. Some of the hot spots for juveniles are McHenry and Harrison, and can you believe Daytona. Radar will be up and running at Boudinot & Glenmore. So be careful if you have a heavy foot.

    I've been aware of the hostile remarks made about my favorite friend Dan Kipp. Everyone is picking on him. Now I will point out some good points about him. His nickname is "The Mole Killer." He helps keep our lawn safe to walk on. You heard of the Horse Whisperer. Well he's the mole counterpart. With traps in hand, he circles the area and whispers "I'll get you X@###!! varmits." He's our neighborhood hero. I bet you'll valve this bit of info. So be kind to Dan next week, he deserves it.

    As Frank takes over the gavel, the hook, the microphone and whatever president take over, he gets the Gene Simpkins good egg award along with everything else.

    Frank is asking for feedback on the Past President Luncheon.

    An initial meeting for the "2001 Rose Bloom Boom" is scheduled for 10-19-2000. It will be held at Sandy & Ed's home at 1617 Devil's Backbone Rd. Being the only fundraiser, lots of help and planning is needed. All members are invited.

    Membership meeting at Ron's Roost on October 19 at high noon. The speaker for the week was Ben Kaufman, religion and education reporter for the Enquirer. He spoke on lack of education in our schools. Ohio is under educationed well below national average. You know I've noticed that from some of the calls we get here at the shop.

Note from Paul:

T.J. Lounge, 937 Devils Backbone Rd. is having its second annual golf outing in memory of Gil Faigle on Saturday, October 21st. Last years event was not a fundraiser just a fun outing for those that knew Gil. This year they have decided to sell hole sponsors with proceeds going directly to the PHWHK (that's us).

Participation in the golf outing itself costs $55.00 per person. That includes 18 with a cart some beer and a steak dinner following at TJ's. It is a scramble format.

Each hole sponsors sign will be a Mickey Mouse logo (don't tell Disney), and obviously, the name of the sponsor or individual. A hole sponsorship costs $25.00. If you wish to sponsor a hole TJ's is asking that you make your checks payable to THE PRICE HILL WESTERN HILLS KIWANIS! Our club will get 100% of the hole sponsorship proceeds. The plan is to double sell each hole, if they can that would be $900.00 to our club.

Anyone interested in getting a foursome or sponsoring a hole can call me (Paul Hogue at 251-3700).
