BUG BOY BECOMES “JOE THE BUILDER!”
“J
ohn Etheridge did a really nice job of building a well designed
wood frame to hold our propane tanks safely during transport.
His efforts will pay off in less worry for folks who volunteer to tow
the trailer to our event sites. Thanks John!!! Then Rich Meyer and I
built 7 new shelves for the cargo container to facilitate much better
use and organization of fifty+ years of reports and information as well
as items used for our various activities. In the future, if everyone
simply puts things where they belong, it will make preparation for
upcoming events much easier! I’d like to give a special shout-out to
Rich for helping me with the shelving and reorganization. Thanks
Rich!!! And BTW, please be sure to attend our next Board Meeting,
slated for Thursday, December 8.”

DEPLOYMENT FEAST
O
n November 9th., our Club, assisted by members
from
neighboring
clubs,
provided
a
tasty
“deployment” feast for a unit of National Guard citizen
warriors who serve as Military Police. The 314th Army
National Guard MPs are being sent to Guantanamo .
Here’s The Prez’s note to the other clubs in our division
who helped make the event a rousing success: “Over
400 meals were served! (I had to make a last minute run
to Costco for more chicken, tortilla’s and cheese sauce.)
I wanted to thank some businesses that made a big
difference. First, Zubies Dry-Dock provided all the food
via donation (except the chicken) and pre-sliced and
diced everything to save us time. Lucci’s Deli loaned us
hot boxes so the beans and rice could be pre-cooked and
kept warm. Round Table Pizza donated our drink cups.
We had a lot of compliments and “thank you’s” from the
military families about the food and service provided.
Amy Scruggs, the country singer that performed for our
club last summer, drove from San Diego an volunteered
her time to sing the National Anthem.” The Tustin Club
provided funds as well as volunteers. Special thanks
to President Mike Grumet, Director Linda Hahn, Project
ANGELS Chair, and her team who helped make this
event a real success!
CLOTHE THE CHILDREN
D
on’t forget to add an early morning activity for Saturday,
December 3rd. That’s when event chair Nouha Hreish
will be marshalling her team of Kiwanis, SLP youth, HBHS
students, family and friends when we host needy youngsters
as they enjoy a shopping spree at Wal-Mart! If you haven’t
participated in the past, this is a “don’t miss” opportunity to
put yourself in the holiday spirit!
