Backbone Rd. They raised $1055 for Kiwanis with the "Second
Annual Golf Outing in Memory of Gil Faigle on Saturday, October

wife, Roseanne who had surgery on her back will be coming home
today. Howard also reported his granddaughter recently had a

VP Paul Hogue thanked the members who donated
gifts to the Aktion Club.
Don Blum was asked to be the master of
ceremonies for the appreciation "Roast" of Past President
Tony Proffitt, Don told of a few incidents about Tony which surprise
us. Although Tony has a successful vending machine business today,
he was not always so successful in this type of business in his
earlier years. The bra machine was a good idea, but not in a
men's locker room and the pay toilets at White Castle were great
at first, till someone with a really real problem did not have
change.
Number one on Tony's success list is: "President
of the Price Hill Western Hills Kiwanis, 1999-2000 year".
We thank you for your contribution to the Club, not just as President,
but for all your years of service.
