Ken's Korner by Pres. Ken Dell

I’m having writer's block while trying to write this month’s article. Let me start by THANKING and offering my CONGRATULATIONS to all the newly elected Officers and Board Members. Thanks for offering your time and experience for the betterment of our club and the community. We need and appreciate everyone’s efforts and offer a sincere “atta'-boy” to those who volunteer to take on a little extra responsibility in the direction of our club and its actions in the community. Please be sure to show your appreciation to Phil Pople, new Vice President and new Directors, Larry Fellows, Jerry Jenkins and Dave Maloney.

As we approach the end of summer we are gearing up for a busy fall & winter. Be sure to read the details on our picnic elsewhere and reserve the date. Larry Fellows has graciously offered us the use of his home for this years’ affair. Be sure to come for the food, fellowship, fun & games! Dave Maloney has started the Xmas Wrap signup sheet so don’t forget to visit our website to sign up (Downtown Club is already starting to sign up.) If you don’t have a computer just let Dave or Phil know so they can add your name. The Mount Basketball season is fast approaching and we need to decide if we still want to do this administrative account fund raiser. Please give this some sincere thought. This can be a real boost to our treasury but it will take a genuine commitment by as many as possible to make it happen. The coming months are the time of our major fund-raisers and your help is needed. I know some of us have a difficult time being on our feet for very long but you can still help out by sitting at a table taking in money or giving out tickets. Think about it!

Lastly, don’t forget membership. We need members! and we can’t get any if you don’t ask. Have you asked anyone? Why not? If we are to achieve an “Outstanding Club” status we need two new members. While you may not agree with everything we do or how we do it you still enjoy the comradeship and helping our community. Why not share it with someone else? We can do more in the community with more warm bodies, so ask! GO GET ‘EM!

Election Results!
Annual elections for the Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick were held July 28, 2005. Elected were Phil Pople, Vice President for 2005-2006. The following were elected to serve on the Board of Directors for the two-year term 2005-2007: Jerry Jenkins, Dave Maloney and Larry Fellows.

Club Picnic Scheduled
This year's annual club picnic will be held on August 27, 2005 at 2 PM at Larry & Judi Fellows' house at 8602 Water Street Rd. in Walkersville. Cost is $5 per person. Plan to enjoy the pool, horseshoes, good food and telling lies about your golf scores.

Plan Now for the End
Stauffer Funeral Homes funeral director, Bill Breher, center, is welcomed by Pres. Elect Christine Semon and Past Pres. Jerry Jenkins. Bill spoke to the club about the benefits of planning now for your final services.

Russ Turney Memorial Scholarship Partnership Explored
Mary Rolle, center, FCC Police Science Program Chair and Criminal Justice Program Chair, explained the two programs to the club as the club explores possibilities for the establishment of the Russ Turney Memorial Scholarship. Left is club Pres. Ken Dell. Right is Sandy Turney who said, "I was really impressed with the programs as described by Mary, and as I stated at the meeting, I think Russ would concur. I think both the criminal justice studies and the police studies track are what you had in mind when you conceptualized the fund. One thing about the police studies program is that the police cadets who enroll will be obligated to stay with their respective departments for a certain length of time after completing their studies. As Mary indicated, many departments foot the bill for their cadets to take this additional training, but some departments can not afford to do so. Funding this program will insure that scholarship recipients will be applying their new-found skills in the community.

I am sure that whatever you choose to do, you will have Russ in mind. That's where the beauty lies. I appreciate the opportunity his daughters and I had to be at the meeting. Thank you.

Sandy"
