APRIL BIRTHDAYS: Guariniello, LaRose, Pasquarelli, Johnsen

APRIL ANNIVERSARIES: Wurtemberger, Fazioli, Hall

We sang, or tried to; even attempted the Anniversary Waltz but Fred and Dale wouldn't dance! Eve's chocolate cake was great, too.

Sponsored Youth Chair Dale Hall introduced 3 freshmen Key Clubbers who each related their experiences at the District Convention, and then Distinguished Past Lt Gov Tyson Evensen, who conducted the installation of officers for 2000-2001. Retiring officers Erica Cassavaugh, Holly Krohel, Derrick Evensen were thanked for their service. Pres-Elect Holly Krohel, Vice Pres-Elect Julian Goldblatt, Secretary-Elect Cassie Lloyd, and Treasurer-Elect Jen Rodden were instructed in their duties and installed to take office in May; SLK Pres Dick Johnsen presented each with the appropriate pin. Erica and Holly each spoke briefly thanking their advisors, Mr Hall, and SLK for support, and pledging themselves to community service. Mr Quinn and Ms Tobin each spoke about their pride in these dedicated kids. Convention pictures were displayed, and the young people were commended for taking the seminars so seriously--"a class act!" Dale announced that the KC was selling lollipops as a fund raiser, but since they forgot to bring them, he collected Dollars From Dieters.
