Happy
Dollars:
$1 from Joe and Jim for winning the 50 50.
$1 from Dick Metz because Sergeant-at-Arms, Roger
Landry, was back.
$1 from Roger Webster because, as he noted, "just about everybody knew the
words to "Oh Beautiful." (Unfortunately Roger did not know the song is called
"America the Beautiful").
$2 from Larry Murphy. The first is
because, he too is happy that Roger Landry is back. The second because he dropped
his grandson off at college and, as of tonight, he's still there.
$1 from Pres. Brian who wished to thank Dick Metz for taking his family to
a Fisher Cats ball game.
Fines:
There were no fines tonight.

Last Sunday 87 people participated in the motorcycle ride in memory of Roger Ballantyne to raise monies towards a cure for Kidney Cancer. Kiwanians who participated in the ride included: Paul Cotton, Warren Mitchell, Roger and Pam Landry, Dick Breton and Mark Liebl.
Betty Ballantyne's initial goal was to raise $2,500. However, the event raised $3,800. Betty was very pleased with everyone who participated and noted the event went off perfectly. She noted that Roger did so much for others, including his participation in Kiwanis, and she would like to see that positive spirit continue.
