LAST WEEK – October 5, 2018 – Jay Kidwell: Channel 4 Sports Director

Jay Kidwell with Channel 4 LOVES his job and he is not going anywhere! He and his family came here seventeen years ago from the east coast. He was a big follower of the New York Yankees. Now his main job is following all the local high school sports teams from Iowa and Illinois. Jay enjoys participating in “extra” projects that the multiple teams have. The grocery cart race for the local food pantries put on by the Lady Lancer basketball team is one of the best! He has also done a bull ride for a few seconds. He is looking for suggestions of projects to participate in. Jay has three kids and in earlier years his son would tag along with him to games and practices. A must for television news is perfect hair! If he was still out east, he would be coloring his hair now, but chan-nel 4 is OK with his gray hair.

Sixty one attended on Friday, as we met in the atrium. John Maxwell auctioned off goodies made by Linda Paustian, Mary Golinghorst and Deb Peterson for $435.00. The buyers were Dr. Brad Burt, Steve Suit-er and Sheila Volrath. Leroy Paustian won the 50/50 drawing (again) of $82.00. Nathan Kessler was the ser-geant and collected $42 in fines. October birthdays were celebrated. Pat Olsen explained how the sign-ups for the auction tickets will be and also that items will only be accepted thru October 26. A few of the members went out after the meeting, canvassing for gift cards and auction donations. Guests attending on Friday were Duncan Cameron, Joan Maxwell and Heather Wagner.

The 4 Way Test Of the things we THINK SAY or DO

1. Is it the TRUTH?

2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?

3. Will it build GOOD WILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS? 4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?
