Just a reminder that the change to happy dollars will start this week. Please remember that Happy Dollars should be of a personal nature - celebrating birthdays, anniversaries, births, family events, etc. Happy Dollars should not be used for any kind of solicitation. Happy Dollars will be on the agenda for every weekly meetings. High Fives are for business/organization announcements and events. Please remember that High Fives are limited to one announcement per business/organization per month. To make this easier we will do High Fives on the second Thursday of the month before the Board and Foundation reports. High Fives will happen on Thursday, December 14 this month. All High Fives will be published in the Telstar. In addition, there will be a Community Services side table at each meeting, so that you can place flyers concerning coming events for other organizations. (Please pick up any information you put down following the meeting.)

Click on the "up" arrow in the lower right corner of the screen recording homepage to start the video. Also note that tickets may be paid for by check made out to "Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne" or cash. Merely hand the payment to John Barnes or Patrick Brady and they will handle the rest.

The Kiwanis Park Committee has received pledges for $334,000 over a three year period that began in 2022. Currently, in hand, the committee has over $250,000 in gifts. In the Download Files section of this homepage, you will see a pledge card. We are asking everyone to consider making a pledged gift to this project. The Club committed to an initial $250,000 pledge to secure naming rights of the park. Any pledges or gifts over the $250,000 total will remain within the Kiwanis Foundation and will be restricted to future specific park projects. These could potentially include additional playground equipment, additional buildings, landscape, etc. As a point of clarification, a gift of a “‘Bonham Fellowship” to the Foundation is separate from gifts made towards this project. The pledge card can be returned to Phil VanHorn, Jason Duda, Greg Dykeman or mailed to the Club at PO Box 1513, Cheyenne, WY 82003.

As I hope you know, we'll provide bell ringing for the Salvation Army on December 16th from 10am to 4pm. in two hour increments. We'll ring at both Walmarts, Sam's Club and King Soopers in a total of six locations. I sent around a sign-up sheet with specific locations and times at least week's meeting--it only made around to about half the attendees--mainly the back have of the group. So, I'll send it around again this week focusing it on the front half of the club. If you'd like to ring, but won't be at our meeting tomorrow, please give me a shout, 307.631.5158, and we'll get you set up to ring! Questions or comment, give me a shout at the above number or email me at coltim3998@msn.com. Happy holidays, Tim Sheppard

Just a quick note that the FFBF could use the Kiwanis group’s help filling FFBF Christmas Food Bags on this coming Monday December 11th starting at 4pm. We will be filling food bags at our previous warehouse location at the Element Church located at 600 East Carlson Street on the Northside of Element Church. FFBF teams up with the Element Church twice a year to fill the FFBF Spring Break food bags & now the FFBF Christmas food bags as these two bags contain more items therefore a bigger space is needed.
This is the last FFBF food bag fill of this year. Regular food bag fills will start back up on Tuesday January 2nd at 5:30pm in the FFBF warehouse located at 2003 South Greeley Highway Suite A.
We appreciate any & all help.
I wish you all a Merry Christmas & a joyous Holiday Season🌟

Just the thing to show your club affiliation while working at the Frontier Days pancake breakfasts. They meet the safety requirement for the long-sleeved shirt if you are to be working anywhere near a grill, and give great protection from the sun's rays if you are working elsewhere. See her at Thursday's regular meeting, give her a call at 307-221-7378 or email her at wyodeblfs@aol.com .

Super Day is coming up on June 24th. Help is needed for grill, sales and cashier positions, especially in the late afternoon. Shifts are scheduled every two hours, from 9:30 am through closing at 5 pm. In addition, Patrick will have a load-up session the previous day, June 23rd, at 1 pm. Update 6/15. I am still looking for volunteers. We really need people to help with the 3:30-5:00pm shift and cleanup on June 24, 2023. I also really need someone with a truck to tow a trailer first thing in the morning and then again in the afternoon. You don't have to work the whole day (though you are certainly welcome to). We would need you at the warehouse at 6:30am and once you drop off the trailer, you're free to go. I'll call you later in the day (around 4:30pm) to come pick up the trailer and return it to the Warehouse. Finally, if you are available on Friday June 23 at 1:00pm we could use some help getting everything loaded up for the next day. Thanks to all who have volunteered for this event and thanks to all who will hopefully join us. Sincerely, Patrick M. Brady

The Club committed to help develop the Kiwanis Community Park on East Pershing as part of the naming arrangement. A workday is set for this coming Saturday, June 17, starting at 9 am. Bring spades and any other serious digging tools, since the work will include the uprooting of T-posts (a.k.a. metal fence posts). If you have a t-post puller you can bring along, that would be even better. To volunteer, or ask questions, call Richard at 631-3499.

Please join us on May 13th for the famous-or is it infamous-Trash to Treasure! We'll clean-up around Sloan's Lake and a two mile stretch of Hynds Boulevard. "Pat" along with the lovely mermaid Kia will head up the crew at Sloan's Lake; and, "Vanna" with a possible appearance of the great mini booze bottle launcher will head up the Hynds Boulevard effort. Both will start at 9:00am and will feature coffee, donuts and water for the delight of all! For Sloan's Lake, we'll meet in front of the beautiful Kiwanis Community House--please remember, Kia the Mermaid will be there to entertain children of all ages--yes, John Rogers this includes you! So, kiddos are more than welcome (and they might just win a toy)! For Hynds Boulevard, we'll meet at the ugly dirt cutout on Hynds Boulevard just North of the Vandehi round-about. As a reminder, participants in both locations are doing more than just beautifying these areas. They are seeking treasure amidst the trash--oh it's out there--it takes a sharp eye to find it, but it can be found! So come on out and enjoy some great fellowship while improving our community. If you'd like to join us, just give me a call or send me an email or or sign up at the next meeting (we'll pass around a sign up sheet). coltim3998@msn.com or 307.631.5158. Hunt, treasure hunters hunt! "Pat"

For those who are new to the club and/or unfamiliar, Stars of Tomorrow is a talent show for K-12 kids in our community. Stars of Tomorrow is a national program sponsored by Kiwanis and has a long history in Cheyenne--this will be our 69th show! I am working on the details for the show, but will not be able to finalize things until after the first of the year. This is because the school district does not allow booking of its facilities more than 90 days in advance. Tentatively, the plan is as follows: | EVENT DESCRIPTION | DATE | TIME | LOCATION | | Elementary auditions | 3/14 | 5:30-9:30 p.m. | East High | | Junior High/High School auditions | 3/16 | 5:30-9:30 p.m. | East High | | Rehearsal | 4/15 | 8:30 a.m.-3:30 p.m. | Central High | | Show | 4/16 | 12:00-5:00 p.m. | Central High |
We had hoped to hold rehearsal and the show at the Surbrugg/Prentice Auditorium at LCCC, but they do not have dates that work for our needs.
There are a number of jobs for volunteers, including but not limited to:
Judging at auditions
Stage crew
Program ad sales
Contestant "wrangler"
Publicity
Awards coordinator
Food donations
Food preparation/serving
Sound
I've been fortunate to have a great crew of volunteers over the past couple of years, but I'd love to give them some assistance while getting new folks involved. That's where you come in! Please let me know if you're interested in joining the Stars of Tomorrow crew. Email me at lwalter@wvista.com or call/text (315) 427-5612.Thanks, Lorrell Walter

Congratulations and thanks to the four Bonham Fellows who were recognized at today's weekly meeting -- Debbie Dancik-Paxton, Laura and Kent Drake and R.C. Mead. The Foundation’s Bonham Fellowship was established to honor Dwight Bonham, a long-time member, past Club President, and Rocky Mountain District Governor. After Dwight’s passing donations to the Foundation from his family and friends led to the establishment of the Foundation’s Bonham Fellow Program One becomes a Bonham Fellow by donating $1,000 to the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club Foundation in a single year. The Foundation is a tax-exempt 501c(3) non-profit corporation. More information may be found in the Site Pages section of this homepage.

Congratulations to Laura Munari, Brian Lovett, Jim Coomes and Chuck Seniawski, who were named Kiwanis Life Members at today's Club meeting. Recognition included a desk plaque, gold membership card, a special lapel pin and a name badge that displays the words "Life Member Status." Photos by Rod Brand Life Members are chosen for fulfilling their commitment and going above and beyond the call of duty while completing their responsibilities over many years. Individuals who achieve Life Member Status are those who perpetuate the objects and objectives of Kiwanis International. Life members are chosen on the basis of a “lifetime” of service to the club and the expectation “service” will continue for many years to come if possible. There are now 44 active members of our Club who have been named Life Members.

Please volunteer for this important community event on the weekend of August 27th & 28th. Just like the pancake breakfast, you just have to sign up for a particular time slot so it can work around your schedule. We have the largest membership of any service club in Cheyenne and it would be a shame if we didn’t represent our club on our 100th anniversary. See the flyer in case you want to donate rather than volunteer! There will be a follow up announcement at the club luncheon on August 25th.

The 58th annual Kiwanis FFA Livestock Sale held Friday evening, August 12th, at the Wyoming Hereford Ranch Events Center set a new record for total dollars at the sale. The sale brought in $179,200 for the sellers of 38 lots. The previous high sale total was $175,850, just last year. The Grand Champion Hog led off the sale and the final bid set a record for hogs at $6,200, $100 more than the previous record set in 2015. The Grand Champion Steer brought the highest bid at $16,000, just $500 short of the record set in the 2020 sale. The final lot offered in the sale was a Champion Market Goose.

Your Board of Directors considers requests for donation at each monthly Board meeting. Unfortunately, some of the request documents do not answer some common questions that arise during discussions. As a result, the request may be turned down, or tabled and the response delayed. To assist the Board, requesters will be asked to fill out a Kiwanis Donation Request Form (now available in the Download Files section of this homepage as a fillable .pdf), or make sure the information is included in its request letter. That will help the Board act in a timely and thoughtful manner on your request. Thank you for your assistance.

East Cheyenne Community Open Space, pretty much a blank canvas. Directions: From central Cheyenne, go east on Pershing. At East Lincolnway (Route 30), continue east on Pershing for about 1/2 mile. You will see a parking lot on the south side of Pershing with a sign for "East Cheyenne Community Open Space." Park there. If you reach Whitney Road, you have gone too far. If you reach Chistensen Road, you have gone way too far.

Consider joining our foreign policy discussion group, Great Decisions. We'll meet once a week for eight weeks for an hour starting at 7:00am on February 8th via Zoom. We do our best to keep things a-political and just discuss the issue(s) at hand--well, at least most of the time...  If interested (even just a bit), please give me a call, 307.631.5158 or send me an email, coltim3998@msn.com. For our newer members, I highly encourage you to take a look at joining this group. It's a nice, smaller group of Kiwanians which allows for some good interaction and discussion and it's normally a pretty good, thought-provoking forum. Tim Sheppard

Larry Walters is getting a head start on next year's pancake breakfast. He is looking for a person or persons who would volunteer to help fill up and pull a water buffalo the morning of each of the breakfasts, delivering it to the Depot. You would need a pickup truck (he estimates a model 1500 or higher). A great way to observe the beautiful southeastern Wyoming morning sunrise, since you would have a 4 am show time. Please contact Larry with your offer of help.

UPDATE Oct 29th. Progress meeting at Alf's on Monday, November 1st, at 5 pm. Great News! Thankful Thursdays are up and running for another season and Kiwanis of Cheyenne was lucky to make the cut again. Please save November 11th, Veterans Day to come out and show your support by volunteering for a fun short shift or bringing your wallet and getting some fantastic auction items. Which you can also help collect to make sure they're fantastic! In the Download Files of this homepage, you will find a donation form. Please go see 3 of your favorite places and ask if they can help at all this year. Things may be tight and it's going to take all of us going out and collecting. Perhaps put up a few days at your condo in Costa Rica for auction. A week at your casa in Mexico. Maybe a stay at your villa in Tuscany. That kind of thing. Thank you in advance for all the time and support you give!

This year's sale, held at the Wyoming Hereford Ranch on Friday, August 13th, grossed $175,850 according to Ag Committee Chairperson Brenda Birkle. This beat the prior record from the 2020 sale. Also, two new records were established. The Champion Market Goat was sold for $5,250 and the Champion Market Pen of Chickens sold for $5,500. The highest price paid for an animal (among the cattle, sheep, hogs, and birds) was $9,000, for the Grand Champion steer. Kiwanis investment group shareholders bought a lamb.

Club/committee members who need propane tanks for their project are asked to first use partially full tanks, before they start a new one. Why? The fill charge for each tank, whether it is partially full or empty, makes no difference, is $75 per tank. The charge is a flat rate, with no proportional credit for topping off a partially full tank. It cost in the neighborhood of $825 when the tanks were last topped off, and much of that went toward topping off partially full tanks. So, if you need propane, take and use a partially full tank and, if you think that may not be enough, take a full tank as a backup. Your cooperation is appreciated by the Club's budget.

In addition to the pancake breakfasts, we will have the following events with the Kiwanis International President. The first is a dinner at the warehouse followed by attendance together at the Melodrama. This is on Tuesday night, July 27. Attendance at this is limited to about 50 and it fills up quickly. As of noon, July 8, there were still 11 openings for the Melodrama. Chuck Tyler needs to know if you would like to fill any of these openings by July 22nd. The second event will be a dinner for board members, officers and committee chairs (along with one guest each) on Wednesday, July 28. This will be at The Office with drinks starting at 5:30 pm, followed by dinner at 6 pm. We will have separate checks and order from a limited menu that I will send ahead of time. In the past, this dinner has been for board members and officers only but note we are including committee chairs and their significant others this year too. We can take up to 40 people at this dinner. As of noon, July 8, there were still 15 spots available.

It is essential that, if you can make it work at all, that you volunteer for one of our Pancake Breakfast committees and then show up often. The breakfast takes a lot of people to make it work and, with the reduction in membership we have seen over the past year or two, everyone counts. Remember our theme: Kiwanis is not something you just join, it is something you do! New 7/15. Bob Monger is looking for help to complete convoy preparation on Sunday, 7/25: (1) a back-up driver for the step van and (2) a pickup or SUV to tow a utility trailer (2-inch ball required). New 7/15. Richard Russell is looking for 2 people to help sign Boy Scouts in at the breakfasts. Becky Lynch and Andrea Andreas need LOTS of help on the Serving Line. They need 20 more persons a day, as of 7/15. Tom Muhlbach is looking for folks who would help him out on the Ham Committee. Tom needs 2 more volunteers as of 7/15. Lisa Trimble needs some batter droppers. Tom Roberts is looking for one or two individuals to learn the Water Buffalo business. Claire Ley needs volunteers for the Traffic Committee. This mainly involves keeping the line going at the entry end. Rob Kilian is asking for volunteers to flip pancakes. Rob needs 5 more for Wednesday and 6 more for Friday, as of 7/15. Chuck Tyler has 84 seats available on a "soft hold" for the 7 pm Melodrama show the night of July 27. Contact him now to reserve your places. He has to get a firm figure to the Atlas Theater within a couple weeks. Kathleen Peterson is looking for volunteers to join her Pancake Breakfast Green Team. Free Green Team hats to the volunteers. Pat Ashworth is seeking to expand the ranks of the Stovetenders. No experience needed. More CFD-related details as they become available.

Meetings are now in-person only. You still need to register in advance so the Red Lion can make sure it has enough staff and food. As a courtesy, there will be an audio only feed over Zoom of the meetings for those interested. Listeners will be able to talk to each other, but will not be able to provide input with regard to announcements or Happy Dollars or other comments. This will be for a limited time. You will receive membership credit if you listen to that.

The Club Board voted today to eliminate the requirement for a COVID Release from Liability waiver to be signed by each Kiwanian and guest at Club events. The most recent Wyoming legislature passed, and the Governor subsequently signed, SF 19, which stipulates that a person assumes their own risk when it comes to potential COVID exposure. This protects the Club except in cases of gross negligence.

In-person meeting resumed on March 11, in the in-person/Zoom hybrid format. NEW (May 12th): Meetings will NOT be available via Zoom video effective the annual meeting, which will be held on Thursday, May 20. Meetings will be in-person only. Audio may still be available; this possibility is being researched. COVID has not yet ridden out of town, though, so certain conditions must be met for in-person attendance. Masks are mandatory (except when eating). Social distancing is in effect. Reservations must be made by Tuesday for the same week Thursday's meeting (necessary so the Red Lion can plan accurately for food and table settings). If you are not feeling well at all, please do NOT attend until you get back to feeling healthy again. In-person meeting is subject to revision, based on the local COVID situation and/or validated instances of transmission within the club. A spike in local cases and hospitalizations or a transmission of the virus during a Club meeting (or a blizzard) may require going back to virtual only meetings.

From President John: This release from liability (March 4 [the latest] copy is in the Download Files section of this homepage) is a pre-condition going forward before participating in in-person Kiwanis activities and future in-person Kiwanis meetings. Any guests you may bring will also need to sign a separate waiver. It only needs to be signed once and is good for the rest of the fiscal year. It is modelled on the legal waiver sent to us from Kiwanis International. You may print it, sign it and then mail it to John Barnes at PO Box 1266, Cheyenne, WY 82003-1266. You may also email your scanned, signed copy to John Barnes at kiwaadmsect@cheyennekiwanis.org. Thank you in advance. John

The blood drive challenge is scheduled for the month of February. Our Club finished second in this Challenge last year, albeit the turnout was a bit weak. Let's try to retain our crown. If you can, it would be great if those of you who donate regularly wait until February to donate this year. How do you set this up? Read on! If you still have any questions, contact Laura Munari or Justin Gorman. Kiwanis Club Blood Drive Join us at any blood drive or the Cheyenne Vitalant Donation Center this February! With all of the changes we have experienced during the pandemic, hosting a blood drive on-site is not feasible for us. But, we are still committed to the mission of saving lives through blood donation, so we are hosting a virtual blood drive. This is your invitation to take part in this innovative event to support hospital patients in our community. Participating in the virtual blood drive is easy. For us to track all of the donations at the virtual blood drive, you need to follow these steps: Use the following link to sign up - you'll get emailed an invitation to schedule your appointment: When your email arrives, click “Schedule Now” to book your appointment at any convenient blood donation location using the same email address you used to sign up. This is important because it helps Vitalant connect your donation to our organization’s virtual blood drive. Prepare for your donation by eating a healthy meal and drinking plenty of water. Remember to bring a photo ID with you. Thanks for supporting patients by donating blood during our virtual blood drive. Because of donors like you, life doesn’t stop. Need more help? Contact Lauren Tipton at ltipton@vitalant.org today!

From Lauri Osborne, Chair for the Club's annual Salvation Army bell ringing: Raffle Tickets: We will not be able to have a raffle ticket sale this year. I have created a virtual kettle for our Kiwanis Club. The link below will be on our Facebook page and can be shared. If you would like to donate, this would be an easy way and they will know it came from us. Food: The Salvation Army will be handing out food boxes for families for Christmas. They need cream of mushroom soup, green beans, mashed potato foil packets and Great Value French fried onions. These need to be in family sizes, not monster sizes! They will be handing these boxes out mid December. We are not having meetings, so if you would like to donate, you can drop off items at the Salvation Army or at my work, W. G. Dale Electric Co. I appreciate all of your support in helping our community. Thank you, Lauri

From Tim's email to Club members on Tuesday, August 18: My heartiest thanks to those who have been able to help with the Community Action of Laramie County (CALC) farmer's market. We are making a difference! Patrick Brady, their board president and soon a Kiwanian, reports that each week they have set new records in sales and will be able to do even more to help our community. In case you don't know CALC, here's a short blurb about their community mission: Community Action of Laramie County (CALC) is a leader dedicated to reducing poverty in Laramie County by empowering people to achieve self-sufficiency through education, advocacy, intervention and community partnerships. As you'll note, they are all about helping to improve our community just like us! When we help them, we are really helping our community. We're in pretty good shape for this Saturday in terms of event support. What would be great is if we could get a couple of folks to man a Kiwanis table and share the word about us and perhaps land a member or two! Who, who will step up to make this happen??? Let's man a table! Here's the link to sign up to support the market--we If you want to man a Kiwanis table, give me a call at 307.631.5158 or call Pat Ashworth at 307.640.3858. Thanks, Tim

Greetings Fellow Kiwanians We are looking for some people to help man a table at the Farmer's Market to promote the Kiwanis Club. What do you have to do? Smile, be polite, talk about Kiwanis, and invite them to a lunch. We still have some Join us for lunch cards. We are not allowed to hand out any literature, but if they stop and ask, then it's ok. The regular market has 2 different shifts of 6-10 and 10-2. It would be great if we had someone at a membership table from 8 or 9-1 at least. Let Tim Sheppard or Pat Ashworth know if you are willing/able to help out at either of these tables. Thanks again and I can't wait to meet live with you all again. Pat Ashworth

The sale is scheduled to go on, with limited seating but also with virtual participation. Please consider purchasing shares in the Kiwanis Investment Group, per the following email. Good Afternoon Club Members, It is that time of year again, when we support the work of Laramie County FFA youth at the Annual Kiwanis Livestock "Sale of Champions" (August 7th at the Archer Events Center). We are asking for your support in purchasing shares. Each share will help fund the purchase of an animal(s) at the sale; each share will be a maximum of $15.00 and proportionate to the number of shares sold to animals purchased. As you can imagine, this year has presented some pretty significant obstacles for youth in agriculture, please consider joining us in recognizing their accomplishments and supporting their continued hard work. Supporting is easy, please reply to kiwaadmsect@cheyennekiwanis.org with the number of shares you would like to purchase and that commitment will be added to your account. Kind Regards, Kiwanis Sale Committee

 Still in effect as of March 2021. During the virtual weekly Club meeting held on Thursday, April 16, 2020, President Brian announced a couple of COVID-19 related actions that have been taken by the Club Board of Directors. These initiatives are still in effect. 1. The Club and Foundation have established a COVID-19 Response Fund. Donations may be made to benefit local distribution points of Food Bank of the Rockies and to benefit our own members who may be having financial difficulties during the pandemic. This is a voluntary effort, not an assessment, designed to make a positive impact on the community. See the Download Files section of this homepage for information on how to give, or, should you be in need, the form you can use to apply for anonymous assistance. 2. To help out our members, the Board of Directors has voted to let YOU determine the amount of dues YOU pay each month during the pandemic. Options include regular dues ($55 per month), After-hours rate ($20 per month) or Leave of Absence rate ($9 per month). When we go back to meeting regularly for Thursday luncheons, dues will automatically revert to $55 per month. For some members, this decision will be easy. Please remember, though, that the Club has fixed expenses that have not gone away, like heat, lights and the phone. Based on today's membership, we need an average of $23.32 per member per month to "keep the ship afloat" through September 30, 2020. Contact John Barnes to get this done.

From Tim Sheppard: Good morning and happy Sunday (Jul 5th): As an update, we have a full crew for the weeding/cleaning starting at the Kiwanis Community House in Lions Park Saturday, July 11th at 9:00am--thanks to Kathleen Petersen for leading this effort and to all who have signed up to help. Kathleen will get with her team to discuss particulars and to make this a spectacular event! (Updated 7/14)
As we have a conflict at Romero Park on the 11th, we've decided to move that weeding/cleaning event Saturday, July 18th at 9:00am. Carol Holland is heading this event up and will get with her team once identified. We would appreciate your help! As we found few weeds or trash at the Buffalo Soldier/Triangle areas, we've decided to cancel this event. If you volunteered to help there, please consider helping at Romero Park on the 18th--donuts are still on the menu! As I've started every paragraph with an "As," I thought I'd go ahead and start another one... Tim

As noted in the e-mail this morning from Tim Sheppard, there will only be one Parks project, Lions Park, on Saturday, July 11th, and it has full crew already signed up. There is no need for work at Buffalo Soldier, and Romero Park is hosting an Animal Shelter disc golf fund raiser on the 11th. The Romero Park spruce up has thus been moved to July 18th. There will therefore be an unpacking on Saturday, July 11th, 9 a.m. at the FFBF storeroom, 600 East Carlson, north side of building. PLEASE wear a mask. Thanks, Later, TomR

It is our sad duty to inform the membership that Leonard Treber has passed away. Leonard was the definition of a Kiwanian. He was a Hixson Fellow, Lusche Fellow, Bonham Fellow, Legion of Honor and Tablet of Honor awardee, Zeller Fellow and Life member. Leonard was a past President (1966) and past Lt. Governor (1971). After he retired from the clothing business, he became the first Administrative Secretary for our club. He held that position from 1987 until 2008. Leonard turned 100 in August 2019. He joined Kiwanis in September of 1955 so was a member for almost 65 years. One of his wishes was to live longer than his mother had. She lived to within 3 months of her 100th birthday. His family had a private service and he was buried in Fort Logan Colorado. They do not plan to have any services in Cheyenne as everyone in the family is now in Colorado.

In this difficult time our country is going through, the Cheyenne Kiwanis Foundation felt that it is important to take some extra time in evaluating the grants received to make sure we are helping those with the greatest and most pressing needs. At this time the Cheyenne Kiwanis Foundation is postponing granting the awards until such time as our board can re-evaluate our position. We are keeping all grant applications that have been received and will announce at some point the reopening of the process. Thank you for your patience and understanding. To your good health Denise Newell, Cheyenne Kiwanis Foundation President

In light of recent events regarding COVID-19 commonly known as the Corona Virus, I want to address our Kiwanis members. First and foremost, the health of our members and community is of the utmost importance. We are watching how the virus is spreading and urge everyone to take appropriate precautions. Please use common sense in your daily lives. Most people, even if they become infected by the virus, will not be in any danger. However, if a person is contagious, they could easily pass the virus to someone that is health compromised. If you feel that you are susceptible to illness or may be in a health compromised situation, I ask that you do not attend any events. If you feel ill for any reason, please do not attend any events. If you are concerned about missing a meeting and it affecting your perfect attendance, please let me know and I will make sure that you still get credit for attending during this difficult time. Please be aware that we may cancel or postpone events if necessary at any time. We are following the guidance of the CDC, State, Local and Federal government. Please watch/listen to your email, television, newspaper, social media and radio stations for additional guidance and closures or cancellations. These closures or cancellations may happen just before events, so please stay vigilant in keeping informed. In Good Health, Brian Lenell President

Updated March 5th. We need an assistant Chairperson for the Cheyenne Marathon project. The person who had volunteered to do this is unable to. The assistant would be expected to be the Chairperson next year for the 2021 Marathon. Committee chairs have been appointed, so the main part of the task would be to shadow and assist this year's Chair, Lisa Taylor, as we plan for 2020. Contact me or Lisa to offer your help.

2019 Stars of Tomorrow Elementary School winners. Committee chairman Dave Niemann has received the support of the Club's Board of Directors to ask the membership to approve the imposition of a $20 assessment on each member (2 tickets at $10 per ticket), to help financially support the Stars of Tomorrow 2020. The event lost money last year when it was held at Central High School. Dave would like to move the event to the Civic Center, to provide a more professional venue for the kids who participate. His goal is to fill the seats in at least the lower level of the Civic Center., and help the show pay for itself. If each member and their guest attended, that would be a quick 550 or more seats filled, with others to be filled by relatives and friends of the performers and the general public. And, of course, a member could give his or her tickets away to a friend or neighbor, if the member could not attend. Kiwanis sponsorship for Stars of Tomorrow has a long history here in Cheyenne, having started in 1954. Two and three generations of families have participated, making it a traditional event for many. Our top acts have the opportunity to go on to division and district competitions. Ticket prices have not changed for years. In fact, up until a few years ago, the Club members had assessed themselves at the requested rate. Per our Club Bylaws, there must be at least two weeks of announcement of the intent to put the proposal to a vote. The first announcement was made at the November 14 meeting. The vote will be held at the regular Club meeting on December 12th. The show itself is scheduled for February 2, 2020.

Planning is underway for the Cheyenne Marathon, scheduled for September 15, 2019. This is a Club fundraiser that will require LOTS of help. Contact Lisa Taylor, Lisa Maney or Lisa Trimble. The next planning meeting is scheduled for Thursday, July 11, at 1 PM, Red Lion Hotel, following the weekly Club meeting. Subsequent meetings will be held the second Thursday of each month, same time and place. Aaron Bentley is looking for Cheyenne Marathon race sponsors. Please see Download Files section of this web page for the sponsorship form. Updated 8/15. Cheyenne Marathon needs Corner Monitors to serve from 5:30 am until 12:30 pm the day of the race. There will be 183 corners on the race course, and two monitors are required per corner. For the math-challenged among us, that's a total of 366 folks needed to monitor corners -- and that's just the tip of the proverbial iceberg insofar as requirements are concerned. Sign-up sheets are being circulated at meetings now. There are two 3.5-hour shifts per corner that need to be filled. Tim Sheppard is rounding up volunteers. If you know of a group in the Cheyenne community that would like to help out with any phase of the marathon, please contact Tim soonest.

The 55th Annual Kiwanis FFA Livestock Sale opened with a bang last night and kept on rolling, with four records broken, including total amount bid. The existing record for sale of a lamb was demolished in the first lot offered for sale, as Leo Tsimbinos won the bid at $16,000 for the Grand Champion Lamb shown by Braxton Olsen of the Burns FFA chapter. The previous record was $3,400. (No, there are no misprints in this paragraph. The increase was that much.) This bid also was the highest ever paid for any animal in the 55 year history of the sale. The previous high was $13,501, paid for a champion steer in 2015. Braxton’s sister Katherine set a new high mark with her Champion Market Goat. Wyoming Mechanical bid $2,500, easing past the old record of $2,250. Jaden Gipfert, also of the Burns FFA chapter, watched as Holly Frontier won with a bid of $3,750 for Jaden’s Champion Market Turkey. The previous record was $3,101. This year’s total for the 36 lots was $148,750, which surpassed the previous high total of $141,230 set in 2015. Your Kiwanis Investment Group purchased the Reserve Champion Extra Heavy Lamb shown by Cody Winslow of Burns for $2,000.

In an email sent August 2nd, Tom Roberts writes: Folks, The grocery shelves and carts are gone, donated to Needs, Inc., and have been replaced by rolling tables and metal shelves, which need to be assembled.
There will thus be an “assembling” work session at 9 a.m. on SATURDAY, AUGUST 10TH at the FFBF storeroom, 600 East Carlson, north side of the Element Church.
There are five large tables and fifteen sets of shelves. Please, if you have one, bring a rubber mallet for assembling the shelves. Hammers will also work although they create a lot more noise, and may damage the shelf edges. A socket set, crescent wrench, and large screw driver should help with assembling the tables.

Life Members are chosen for fulfilling their commitment and going above and beyond the call of duty while completing their responsibilities over many years. Individuals who achieve Live Member Status are those who perpetuate the objects and objectives of Kiwanis International. Life members are chosen on a “lifetime” of service to the club and the expectation “service” will continue for many years to come if possible. There are now 40 active members of our Club who have been named Life Members.

Updated 5/14. Rocky Mountain Kiwanis District Governor (and Club Past-President) Tim Sheppard announced at the January 24th meeting that members Heather Dodson, Claire Ley and Jeff Gardner have combined to restart our Cheyenne Aktion Club. It has been re-designated the Laramie County Aktion Club. They had 43 members attend the March 4 meeting. Contact one of the liaisons to express your interest in helping out. A 50-50 drawing was held at each meeting in April to help fund start-up costs for the club and raised $1,107. Your generosity is appreciated.

As of Thursday, January 24, the Club is still looking for a Telstar editor or staff. Should you be interested, please contact our President, Chuck Tyler. The "staff" version would involve several people working together to get the newsletter out, perhaps alternating as authors or working as a team. That way, one would not have to be present at every meeting. Please consider signing up -- we have some senior members who rely on the Telstar for up-to-date information.

Photo is from the 2018 discussion series. Great Decisions is America's largest discussion program on world affairs, sponsored by the Foreign Policy Association. The program model involves reading the Great Decisions Briefing Book, watching the DVD and meeting in a Discussion Group to discuss the most critical global issues facing America today. Materials are paid for by the Club and are free to the participants. This forum has been sponsored by our Club for years and often provokes some spirited discussion. All eight of the discussion sessions are scheduled for Tuesday mornings at 7:00 am, at the Red Lion. The precise start date is to be announced, but is expected to be the first or second Tuesday in February. Club member Wayne Herr is the discussion leader. The number of participants is limited by the number of books available. Call Wayne to express interest in participating.

As he was researching our Club's history, Tom Roberts ran across an interesting article, which is posted in the Download Files area. There was a "summit meeting" including Cheyenne and Laramie Kiwanis clubs at what is now The Summit on I-25, before any roads existed up there. And what grandiose plans were made... (see article for details).

From Laura Munari: We will be having our holiday meeting/party on the 20th. There will be entertainment, lunch for kids of all ages (I will not judge if someone feels compelled to nosh off the kids' buffet) and, of course, a visit from the big guy in red! We are going to do candy for the kiddos, so if you would please let me know if you plan on bringing your children, grand-children, neighbor's kids, etc. I would hate to not have enough for all that are in attendance. So, please let me know a head count! And, if you planning on bringing extra adults, it would be nice to know that too, so we can make sure we have enough seating. (Note: Laura needs to know by Friday, 12/14.)
Thank you! Laura Editor's Note: Food will be served at 11:00 AM, meeting will begin at 11:30 AM this day only.

For the 2018-2019 administrative year, meetings of the Club Board of Directors will be held the SECOND Tuesday of each month at the Red Lion Hotel. Remember that Club members are welcome to attend and participate (or not participate, if you just want to stay in the bleachers watching the action). This is a great way to see how the Club operates behind the scenes.

Dear Fellow Kiwanians, This is a reminder that we are having our Fall Kick Off Membership Drive this Thursday, September 13th, at the Red Lion from 5:30 to 7:00. Wear your favorite team jersey, enjoy some snacks, Octoberfest beer (or a drink of your choice), and fellowship of other Kiwanians as we work together to increase our membership. Remember it takes all of us to do this, so please show up whether you have a guest or not. If we want to continue to have Membership Drives, we need to have participation from our members. We all have someone we can invite to at least see what we do and what we're about. Let's Kick Off our new Kiwanis year with a goal to get back to 300 members. Thank you, Pat

The 54th annual Kiwanis-FFA Livestock Sale of Champions was a huge success, grossing just a little more than $120,000 on Friday night, August 10. The Grand Champion Steer was sold by Madison Foley of the Burns FFA chapter to Spradley Barr Motors for $10,000. Tyler Humphrey of Burns sold his Grand Champion Lamb to Halladay Motors. Kaycee Thomas, also of Burns, sold his Grand Champion Hog to Black Hills Energy for $4,500. Two sale records were set. Rebecca Derner of Burns sold her Extra Heavy Lamb for $3,400 (the previous record high for a lamb was $3,225). Hannah Mulkey of Cheyenne sold her Champion Market Goose for $3,101 (the previous record for a bird was $3,100 and, yes, that's right, the new record was one dollar over the old record). The Kiwanis Club Buyers Group (the group you joined if you purchased shares at our regular Club meeting) purchased Katherine Olson's Champion Market Goat for $1,600. Katherine is also from Burns. A steak dinner was served to prospective bidders by Kiwanis Club members immediately before the sale. FFA members enjoyed a buffet provided by Taco John. (Trivia tidbit: Did you know that one of the founders of the Kiwanis FFA Sale was also a founder of Taco John's? It was the late Kiwanian Harold Holmes.) FFA members who sell animals in the sale generally use sale proceeds to pay for their post-secondary education and/or livestock project improvement (for you non-farmers, this means they buy more animals to raise for next year, in the hopes of doing even better at the Fair than this year). Mike Hutton is the chairman of the Agriculture Committee and the head of this sale.

New To quote Yogi Berra, philosopher extraordinaire, "It ain't over till it's over." From our Pancake Breakfast Chairman, John Lynch: "We have one more breakfast Friday morning. (Completed) On Saturday morning at 11 am at the Indian Village, the Indian Dancers are saluting us with an Honor Dance. Please consider coming with your friends and families to this event." Thanks again, John [Ed.note: Help celebrate the success of our partnership with the CFD Indian Committee! And John says, even if you were not able to help out with the breakfasts this past week for whatever reason, your are more than welcome at this event.]

John reminded everyone at today's (July 19) Club meeting that.. Workers at the pancake breakfasts must have Kiwanis attire (shirt, ID badge, cap, et al.), a hat (need not be Western) and closed toe shoes/boots. Long sleeves are required for grill workers. Guests without the requisite garb must escorted into the work area. No alcohol in the serving line. Safety is paramount, so be aware of your surroundings -- don't run into pancake catchers or other workers or trip over pipes or wires strung out on the ground. Do not set up camp in traffic lanes. This is a production operation, a test of our ability to respond to Laramie County Emergency Management as requested. It is not a test of our first aid abilities. Keeping this in mind, you can still have fun with the project.

Five long-time buyers of livestock at the annual Kiwanis FFA Livestock Sale were recognized at the July 19 Club meeting. (The Agriculture Committee historically has recognized buyers as they reach a multiple of five years purchasing animals.) Buyers cited this year include Wyoming Steel (5 years), Halladay Motors (30 years), Frank and Louise Cole (35 years), Wells Fargo Bank (45 years) and Black Hills Energy (50 years). Those of you who have been around town for a while will note that Wells Fargo Bank and Black Hills Energy have not been around that long, but they and their predecessor entities together have. Thanks to these and all the other bidders who join us and take part in the sale, the Club is sponsoring its 54th annual sale next month on August 10th.  Kent Drake, Past President and Agriculture Committee member, assisted by FFA members, presents a 50-year plaque to Laurie Farkas, representing Black Hills Energy and its predecessor entity Cheyenne Light, Fuel and Power.

This event has been postponed from April 14th because of the inclement weather forecasted for this weekend. It has been rescheduled for Saturday, April 28th. This is our annual Spring cleanup of areas which the Club has traditionally taken under its wing. Excellent project for new members. Only takes a couple hours on a Saturday morning. Supplies provided (reflector vests, bags). Work gloves recommended (remember those gloves you received at induction to Kiwanis?). The Highway Clean up group will meet at 9 am at the Loaf and Jug on Vandehei. Tim Sheppard will be heading this up. The Sloan's Lake clean-up crew will meet simultaneously at the Kiwanis Community House. If you have waders or a boat, these have proven useful in the past to clean up the water-borne trash. If not, you may stay dry as you help clean up the park. Kathleen Petersen will be the crew chief. Plan to compete for the highly coveted Mickey's Green Team Traveling Trophy.

From Tom's March 13 email: "The Element Church is partnering with FFBF to provide a larger bag with more food to help the kids during the lengthy Spring Break period. The “bags” will be tee shirts sewn into bags to hold the larger volume of food. This is a one-time event and the changes (other than delivering by Thursday every week) listed below relate only to this special filling. FILLERS – The Wednesday, March 28th filing is being rescheduled to Monday, March 26th at 5:15 p.m @ Element Church Food Pantry, East side of the building. PLEASE NOTE – THIS IS NOT The USUAL FILLING LOCATION. Use the sheet for the 28th to record Kiwanis attendance. DELIVERY DRIVERS - The tee shirt bags are larger and will make it more difficult for you to load your vehicles and deliver to the schools. Because of the added difficulty, Element Church will assist in the following ways: 1. If you’re able to come to the filling, they will help load your vehicles. 2. For those that deliver 25 or more bags, Element Church volunteers will deliver ½ of your bags. For those with odd numbers, FFBF volunteers will deliver the one extra. Example – 25 bags: FFBF delivers 13 and Element Church delivers 12. 3. If you’re not able to pick up your bags the night of the filling, the bags will be either in the normal facility on tables and the wooden shelves, OR, if we find we don’t have room in our facility, the bags will be in the adjoining room accessed via a door at the back of our room. The door will be open. Look for the tee shirt bags! 4. Please remember to deliver your bags by Thursday, March 29. Delivering bags by Thursday is always preferable, but particularly the week beginning March 26th. There is early dismissal on Friday, March 30th. If bags are not delivered by Thursday, schools will not have adequate time to distribute. Thanks, Later, TomR"

"Sparkle" and "Suds" Just a reminder that the soaps and shampoos you pick up while traveling can be donated to our Itty Bitty Soap Committee, which will pass the items on to folks who can use them at local shelters. Just drop your donations off at the badge table during regular Club meetings. The committee will take care of the distribution. Founded by Club member Bill Dale many years ago, the committee is now headed by "Suds" (R.C. Mead) and "Sparkle" (Claire Snyder). Want to help? Contact one of them.

Bob retired from a career in the United States Air Force and became a force for good within the Cheyenne community. In Kiwanis, he was past Club President, past Lieutenant Governor and past Governor of the Kiwanis Rocky Mountain District. Dave McCracken is working with Ginny Rowland, Bob's wife, to put together a memorial service for Bob to be held Friday, November 3 at 11:00 am at the Kiwanis Community House. Dave needs help from Club members to make this happen. For starters, he needs members and volunteers to help with set-up and tear-down of the venue. He would like to find a person who plays bagpipes. He would like to get help from someone in converting photos featuring Bob to a DVD. Also, help in food preparation and serving. There will probably be other things as well. Contact Dave to offer your assistance. His home phone is 635-1464, his email is jdmccrack@aol.com .

Marty needs help with the final load-out today (Thursday, Aug 17) right after our noon meeting. He needs 6 to 8 individuals who can help immediately following the lunch meeting. You will be loading the ham and other cold or perishable items from the warehouse's walk-in cooler into the Meadow Gold Milk Truck. With 6 or 8 folks, we can knock this out in less than an hour.

"Here is your opportunity to sign up to help with this event. We have several committees so if you have an idea of what you want to do, please contact the committee chair. We will have either car pools or shuttles for people that will not be spending the night camping on site and will utilize these as well for replenishing supplies if needed. We have limited parking in our area so this will have to be strictly enforced. "Don’t want to participate in the physical town of Glendo but still help? We will need help prepping equipment, making sure all supplies and utensils are clean, packed and ready to go, as well as purchasing food items. Eclipse committees Transportation – in charge of prepping equipment, loading and transporting, setting up and tearing down. We are moving equipment and setting up on Friday, August 18 and tearing down and bringing everything home on Monday evening, August 21. Food Preparation – preparing pancakes in the morning, hamburgers, hot dogs and brats in the afternoon. We will be serving on Sunday and Monday. Food Service – this committee will run the serving line, making sure all of the serving items are fully stocked and that the different food items are ready to go (hot food in containers and condiments/drinks/sides are readily available.) Additional info: The serving line is planned to be open from 8:00 am until 3 pm. Server shifts will run from 7:30 am until 11:30 and 11:30 to closing. Please contact Lauri to sign up for shifts. Treasury – this committee is in charge of taking orders and receiving money and making sure there is ample cash/change on hand. Check with Nick Panop or Laura if you wish to carpool (recommended).

Lauri Osborne, our current Serving Line Chairperson, is looking for a co-chair, someone who will learn the ropes and take over. As is the case with all pancake breakfast committees, the show runs pretty much on automatic pilot, with only a few tweaks here and there to help keep things on track. Steve Schmerge is looking for help with his Coffee Committee. Qualifications include strength and relative youth, since the brewed coffee is served in 12-gallon containers and the "old guys" on the committee would like to be relieved of backaches. Rob Killian is asking for help with flipping pancakes. Just a reminder that the breakfasts are an "all hands on deck" event for the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club. Whether you can help out for a day or two or all three days, every little bit helps ensure the success of the event. Call Brian if you are not sure where you can be of assistance.

The Rocky Mountain District of Kiwanis annual convention will be held in Cheyenne this year, from Aug 3 through 6, at the Little America Hotel. This is a great opportunity to see what a convention is like, to meet new people and get ideas for incorporation in our own Club's operations. Since it is being held in Cheyenne, you don't have to travel. No motel bill to pay (although our Club helps defray the costs of attendance at district conventions). You get to sleep in your own bed each night. You can select your own participation based on the time you have available and your own interests. The preliminary schedule and registration may be found at http://rmdkiwanis.com . If nothing else, seriously consider attending the interclub luncheon on Saturday at noon. Highlights include a distinguished guest speaker, a roll call of attending clubs, and comments from District leadership, as well as fellowship with members of other clubs in the District. This will also be a great time to make a lot of noise and encourage our candidate for Governor-elect: Tim Sheppard. See you there!

Fellow Kiwanians The Treber Building and our equipment should be a source of pride for all club members. We are the only club with this type of warehouse facilities and such an extensive array of equipment. Many Kiwanians throughout the years have worked to build our equipment and the warehouse facilities. And I feel privileged to be the club’s quartermaster. In previous years, the Wednesday Night Work Sessions spent their evenings building the facilities at the warehouse that we enjoy today. Now, we need work sessions to maintain those facilities and our vast supply of equipment. So that all of our members can be involved in helping at the warehouse, I am asking for input from everyone who is interested in helping to maintain the warehouse and equipment, but cannot help on Wednesday nights. If you are interested in helping on other days of the week, please contact me with the days of the week and times that you can help. (Example: “I can help Saturday mornings or Thursday evenings.”) While we will continue Wednesday nights, I am happy to add other days and times for work sessions. The types of activities I’m talking about include everything from housekeeping chores, yard maintenance, minor vehicle maintenance and general cleanup. Offering to help does not mean that you have to come to every work session. (You may contact Marty at silverfoxwy@gmail.com to offer your input and assistance.)

We are having a membership drive on Thursday, January 19 at 5:30 at the Radisson.
We will have a cash bar available for our cocktail half hour followed by three of our members sharing their thoughts on why we Kiwanis. (If you attend AND bring a guest who is not currently a member, you will each get a free drink ticket!)
Some thoughts on who to invite as a guest. Everyone! It doesn't matter the age, gender, profession - current or past. Think of anyone that has a heart for helping others and encourage them to attend.
If you will be attending, please RSVP to lmunari@msn.com with your name and the name of your guest no later than Tuesday, the 17th of January. We would like to have name tags made for everyone in attendance to help facilitate conversation. Laura also needs these numbers in case we have to move to a bigger room.
Let's all reach out and let the community know that we don't just do pancakes!

The Cheyenne Kiwanis Club Foundation has been working to support construction of an accessible playground for all ages and abilities at Cheyenne's Cahill Park for four years now. Our Club's past President, Patty Benskin, has identified support of the project a priority for the Club as well. Every little bit helps. And, if you can, consider a gift of $500 or more for recognition as a playground fellow. Thanks for your support. The accessible play area, as it looked on April 27, 2018, being enjoyed by many kids.

Kiwanis International has declared the week of September 11 through 17 to be Youth Protection Week.
Nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of those we serve—and of the Kiwanians who serve them. That’s why Kiwanis International annually presents Youth Protection Week.
An email with attachment containing the guidelines was sent out to all members on September 22nd. After completing the training, you and your fellow club members should be able to:
- Understand the Youth Protection Guidelines.
- Identify troubling behavior or abuse.
- Respond appropriately if a child discloses abuse to you or if you witness troubling behavior.
Kiwanis members can also access http://reporting.kiwanisone.org/onlineeducation to review it on their own time.
In addition, a summary of program elements may be found in the file download section of this home page, at "Youth Protection Guidelines."

The Division Stars competition will be held at Wheatland High School Saturday, April 16th, starting at 1:00 pm.
The Rocky Mountain District Stars of Tomorrow will be held the following weekend April 24th, at the Rialto Theater in Loveland, Colorado, beginning at 1:30 pm.

The Kiwanis Club of Cheyenne and The Salvation Army have a long-standing relationship. Upcoming events in support of The Salvation Army include fund-raising and Christmas Bell Ringing. At meetings in December, there will be a raffle for a $50 bill each week at the regular Club meeting. There will also be a "giving tree," replacing the silent auctions of past years.
December 19th – Salvation Army Bell Ringing. Members of the Kiwanis family and other affiliated volunteers ring the bell for a couple hours each at local businesses during The Salvation Army's Christmas funds drive. There are still some openings for volunteers.
Contact Lauri Osborne should you wish more information.

President Patty Benskin has initiated a "Kiwanis Moment" as part of the regular meeting agenda.
On October 22, Club Past-President Mike Dowling presented information about the Hixson and Bonham Fellowships. For a $1,000 donation, one can be recognized as a Hixson Fellow (by the Kiwanis International Foundation) or as a Bonham Fellow (by the Cheyenne Kiwanis Club Foundation). Dwight Bonham was a past President of the Cheyenne Club and past Rocky Mountain District Governor. For details on how to participate, see the onekiwanis web site (for the Hixson) or any Cheyenne Kiwanis Club Foundation Board member for information about the Bonham.
On October 29, Club Risk Manager Chuck Seniawski presented a quick primer on the Kiwanis International General Liability Insurance policy. All activities and members of the Club, the Foundation, Aktion Club and sponsored Youth Service Programs (Key Club, Builders Club, K-Kids) are covered under this policy. Most importantly, though, the respective boards of directors must approve all projects and make a record of that approval in meeting minutes in order for the insurance coverage to be effective. If you have any questions about this insurance, contact Chuck.
On November 5, long-time Club member Glenn Crock gave a number of reasons why he enjoys being a Kiwanian.
On November 12, the presidents of the East High School and Central High School Key Clubs brought the assembled Kiwanians up to date on what their clubs were doing.
On December 3, Jim Coomes, Interclub Chairman, talked about Kiwanis interclubs and how our club members can get involved with them. Interclubs are trips made to other club meetings within our Rocky Mountain District by four of our members at a time. Our members then are able to exchange ideas with the club being visited, telling them about our activities and learning about the ways other clubs approach projects and fund-raising. Transportation is provided. The travel teams feature rotating membership, so a long-term commitment is not required. Cheyenne Club members who are interested in participating, or who might want more information, are encouraged to contact Jim.
On December 10, Chuck Seniawski, a Club member for some 25+ years, reviewed criteria for recognition under the Legion of Honor and Perfect Attendance programs. See the article on Legion of Honor recipients above for applicable criteria. Receipt of a Perfect Attendance tab means you have been credited for attendance at a minimum of 50 events during the administrative year, which begins October 1st. Credit is given for Thursday meeting attendance, for Kiwanis work sessions and projects. There are even provisions for attending meetings out of town. Contact Chuck if you would like further details.
