It's Official
Pres. Larry Murphy called our Annual Meeting to order in accordance
with our Bylaws.
Win a Classic!
Chair Paul Cotton reports that Phil Bonafide and Michael Bastraw
helped him sell raffle tickets at the Keene Swap Meet, Sunday
last. He has made arrangements for what we will need once we
move the roadshow to the Weirs Boardwalk. He would like us to
start next year's raffle with an event in August.
The Drop-Ins
Macon Kiwanian Charlie Cloaninger told us that his club numbers
135 members and is the oldest of four clubs in the city. Two
of their fundraisers are selling Vedalia onions and doing a silent
auction. They meet on Tuesdays and support five keyclubs.
He learned of our meeting from a roadside sign and was able to
keep up his 24 years of perfect attendance. We are all invited
to Macon, Georgia, and to attend one of their meetings.
