Grandson Born

Dave & Barb Maloney proudly announce the birth of their grandson, Evan David Giampapa. Evan and mother Julianne are doing fine. Many who have seen young Evan note how ruggedly handsome he is — a trait inherited from his grandfather (and your most humble Editor) most intelligent people agree.

Jerry's Words of Wisdom by Pres. Jerry Jenkins

March, March, March. The troops are marching. Congrats to one and all for a very productive 5 months. We have successfully completed the gift wrap, the Basketball games at Mount St Mary's and the Thank-You dinner for our gift wrap volunteers.

I would like to add my plea to that of Clyde for drivers on the wheelchair van. Stop and think for a minute. With 33 members you would think that almost all of us could spare 4 hours on a weekday or ½ a day on Saturday or Sunday. That means once a month, guys, instead of leaving it on the shoulders of 6 members including those that are on vacation or sick. In addition, you are only on-call. In the month of December we only had one call on a weekend. Seldom do we have a call at night but we do have the obligation to cover. This service project has gotten this club more publicity than any project we have ever undertaken and only seven out of 33 have participated. Think about it and do your fair share.

Lt. Governor Art Riley has requested that we take on a new Children Priority One project of our choosing. Nothing large, just new. This is something he is asking all clubs to do. I'm sure we can think of something. Give your ideas to Ed Crawford and let's see what we can come up with. I'm sure we could take some money from our Admin. fund for a small project.

Are you ready to entertain again? Christine, Mark and Jim have suggested a "Dinner with sponsored Youth Groups". This has been set for St. Patrick Day (Jim's suggestion as he is Irish) the 17th of March. I would like to also make this a significant-other night. The more we can present ourselves as a family the better representative we can be of the family. We have taken these kids under our wing, so let's show them what Family is all about.

For those of you who don't know, I have asked Ed Crawford to be our Official Historian and he has graciously volunteered. Many thanks, Ed. You did a great job on the book. The "Book" is available to be checked out by any member. Learn about your club and the wonderful people who have made it the best service club in Division 9.

I have also asked Charlie Mertz, Eric Gatrell and Glen Magaha to form a committee to help and educate incoming Presidents in the ways of our club. They are all charter members and past Presidents with a wonderful knowledge of how to preside at a club meeting. They will bring continuity to the office and a deeper knowledge of Suburban Frederick Kiwanis.

It seems we still owe Carmi a vote of thanks. He didn't just throw the job in Leslie's lap. I saw he was one of the last ones to leave last Wednesday because he was helping Leslie. Many Thanks Carmi. You can be an old curmudgeon at times, but we love you anyway. (Right. Beauty and the Beast. New Club Treasurer, Leslie Davidson, learns the ropes from outgoing Treasurer, Carmi Sayler.)

My very best to all of you,

Jerry

Thirty-Two Years and Counting

Charter Member and Past-President Ed Crawford took on the daunting task of compiling the history of Kiwanis Club of Suburban Frederick from the club's inception in 1972 to present.

Above, Ed presents his finished product to a club meeting. (Center, Pres. Jerry Jenkins (l) thanks Ed for his efforts.) "Feeling a sense of urgency, I decided to undertake this project because I was afraid that a portion of our club history would soon be forgotten," Ed said. "With that in mind, and with Ed Blumenauer's assistance, I gathered a copy of every Chatter ever published. I gleaned important information from those Chatters and club records to compile the club history."

Included in the club history are memoriams, sponsored youth programs, original documents dating back to 1971, club newsletters, highlights, organizations benefiting from club contributions, lists of past-presidents, Foundation Life Members, and past Lt. Governors, and much, much more.

Noting that the task will never be finished, Ed went on to say that he will continue to add new information. Assisted by member Patrick Haley, Ed has even published the work on CDROM in addition to the print version.

For his efforts, Club Pres. Jerry Jenkins recently appointed Ed Club Historian. Privileges too numerous to mention accompany this exalted position. Congratulations, Ed! And Thanks!

News Flash: Mount Circle K Elects New Officers

In club elections held Thursday night, February 19, our Circle K Club elected its new board of officers. Congratulations to President Kelly Barrett (class of 2007), Vice President Shannon Gibbons (class of 2006), Secretary Amy Reightler (class of 2007), and Treasurer Ryan Cleary (class of 2006). The new offices will begin their term in April.

Story: Mount Circle K Club Is Looking for Talent in Our Kiwanis Club

Talent? In our club? Heck, we ooze talent. Kiwanians, please note. The Mount’s Circle K Club is planning another appreciation dinner for us. Remember our last get together? In the Commons Room of the Mount’s Seminary? Spaghetti and all the customary extras? Mark your calendars for a day that is still tentative as we go to press—Sunday, April 4, at about 5 PM.

Sounds great! Now, about the "talent" part of the equation. The Circle K Club wants to make the evening’s entertainment a joint, CKC-SFK talent show. Do you play an instrument? Know any card tricks? Ever make a bunny disappear (or disappear with one)? The girls and guys of Circle K have as much as challenged us! So if you have a talent to display, present, demonstrate, or otherwise show off, let Jim Krysiek know asap. Otherwise Jim just might have to dance around like Tom Jones and sing (?) his "Ginette" song in English!

Mount Senior Katie Shea has wanted to follow in her mother’s footsteps and teach since she was five. The Mount was a natural choice because the education program includes at least two student-teaching internships, while many programs offer only one...read more
