ANNOUNCEMENTS:

NLEA Luncheon:  John Scholten passed around a sign up sheet for the NLEA luncheon on May 19th. It will be at the new stadium and Andy Hayes has a great program in store. Let John know if you would like to attend. It would be great if we had a good number show up. He also let us know of all the great comments he received at the renewing of the Kiwanis Relays. The 10 team meet was a success and the participants and spectators were very impressed with the facility

Roadside Cleanup:  Paul Schemanski let us know about Road Cleanup scheduled for this Saturday the 6^th, starting at 8:30 at the Walloon Lake Marina maintenance building. We need at least 8 members to help out. This is a fun event and a worth while project

Officer's Exchange:  Officers Exchange will be June 28^th at the Perry. Sign up will be available soon for that as well

Program:

Liz Ahrens introduced David Crouse who gave us a quick “snap shot” of the Ansel Adams display and program coming to Crooked Tree this summer. This is going to be a great program that we all should make time to see and participate in. Liz and her program director, Megan DeWindt, gave us a quick over view of the 72 other programs going on at Crooked Tree this summer. What an awesome facility we are privileged to have in Petoskey

Next Week’s Program:  Jean Frentz and Tim Dykstra will be speaking about the STRIVE Program
