Since Joan B went to the Care Givers program today, instead of the Kiwanis meeting, I will attempt to blog about today's Kiwanis meeting.
There were a lot of Happy Basket people today. Dave Kempf was happy that Ashley attended. However he was quite sad that his cousin's 8 year old daughter was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. Patrick Crawford reported on the Community Theatre performance this coming weekend. Ashley Hajney was happy her brother is going to church. Mike Howie was happy about going on a scout camp this coming weekend. Dan Rutt reported about the Prayer Breakfast being held next Thursday am. Margaret Shaw told about the Open Table Bowl. She also announced about the pep rally for the Special Olympics participants being held at Hastings College this evening. Linda Stark passed along greetings from Kevin Cunningham.
Father Benton's name was drawn for Atta Kiwanian! He was recognized for last October's winterization program.
Dave Kempf passed the sign up sheets and encouraged us to sign up. He has really organized those sign up sheets as good as possible! However, I still prefer to sign up on the web site. He has made that very convenient, also. Volunteers are still needed for the book fair this Sunday.
Group singing was led by Don Goodrich with Mary Plock at the piano.
Darrel Nelson was the Kiwanian of the Day, introducing today's speaker, Kerry Winterer, CEO of the Nebr Dept of Health and Human Services. It was really a good informative program! For those who missed the program, you should be able get a copy of the hand-out material. Does our Kiwanis club have good programs? Yes!! You better believe it!
Doug N closed the meeting with the final thought, "Everything has it's own beauty, but everyone does not see it."

Kiwanis One Day Wrap up by Neil G
Wrap of K One Day
Monday, April 12, 2010
It was not my intention of writing a blog, but I accidently hit the "create blog" title on top of the Kiwanis blog. That took me to another page where I signed in, and before I knew it I was trapped in writing something on this page. Maybe I will cancel everything before I finish. Kiwanis One Day went very well! I agree with Tom Genung, when he said it was a blast!! Before working at Prairie Loft Center I stopped by the Highland Park Arboretum to take a few pictures for the Astonisher. It was my understanding that they planted 31 trees that morning! Nine more trees will be planted this week. Don Siffiring, for sure, will be helping with that. Those who were working over there, when I arrived, were Don S., Greg Schultz, John Boltz, Gary Aadland, Jim Karloff, and Tom Genung. Since everyone was scattered throughout the park planting trees, I may have missed seeing all of the Kiwanians helping over there. Hopefully someone else will blog about the tree planting project over there, and will fill in more details.At Prairie Loft Center, there were 6 Kiwanians working there, Matt and Kaleena Fong, Karen Kempf, Kathy Schultz, Tom Genung, and myself. It was a blast! According to Amy Sandeen, the director of Prairie Loft, Kiwanis planted a bunch of shrubs over there three years ago. We cleaned around the shrubs and remulched them. Matt and Kaleena refurbished the landscaping around one of the signs. We also landscaped around the house out there. I need to run now. You will probably hear more about it some other time
