Last Meeting: February 25, 2011 President Rick Mitchell in charge.
Guests: Todd Ray, USD 308, our guest speaker, Aaron Powers, Tonys son and Colby Davis, Wards son.
Fines: Dennis Reiser and Larry Sloan were our Sergeants-At-Arms. Doug Foss was charged an inheritance tax for winning the 50/50 drawing last week. Di Saunders paid for her birthday (25th) announcement. Tony Powers was asked if he did emergency eye exams. His remark was it depends on how cute they are. According to Dennis, Referee Curtis Mitchell could use one. I think Curtis paid, but Im not sure. Maybe I need an exam too. Ward Davis was fined for dropping bacon in the food line. He must have forgotten the old adage waste nothing on the hog except the squeal. I was fined for my photo in the Waynes Printing calendar. It was the best photo however and at least it was not the centerfold. Everyone not wearing an AMBUC shirt was fined since it was the last week of visibility month. Colby Davis demonstrated his new Crocodile walker for us this morning. A new Sgt. will be unveiled next weekbe prepared.
TUIT: Brenda Janda had Ryan Thompson and Stan Macgirvin fined for not inquiring about the TUITs wellbeing. Tom Hymer missed getting the TUIT since he was not here and Brenda said that he remarked only real men wear pink shirts when he was wearing a pink shirt some time back. Instead Pat Fallon sporting K-State Purple, evidently the closest to pink that she could find, got the new pink TUIT. I wouldnt go showing that to your farm friends this week.
Announcements: Rick announced that he and Curtis Mitchell attended the District Board meeting in Salina last week. April 29th & 30th will be Spring Training in Wichita. Rick displayed the proclamations received from the City Council and a copy of the State proclamation that Salina was instrumental in arranging.
Curtis Mitchell announced we still have 20+ slots for workers to sign-up for the NJCAA T-shirt concessions and we are only 2+ weeks away. Please call or e-mail him today at: mitchellc@promiseregional.com
Program: Todd Ray, International Baccalaureate Coordinator for USD 308 was our guest speaker. Todd teaches a bit of History besides his position as coordinator. This is his 16th year at HHS following 7 years at the Cosmosphere which he still works Space Camp each summer. The IB Diploma program began at HHS in 2004. It is recognized as the most academically rigorous high school program in the world. Since 1967, the IB program has grown to over 2000 authorized IB world schools in over 115 countries. HHS is the only school between here and Colorado to offer the program. A few schools offer the program, in the eastern part of the state. Students can take the full program to earn an IB diploma, or a partial program to earn IB certificates. It is probably the best prep for colleges and Universities. IB Diplomas and certificates are recognized by most Universities for advanced placement and transfer credit.
50/50 Drawing: Jeff Brewer won $17.00. That makes 4 out of the past 6 weeks he has won.
Newsletter Drawing: Jeff Roberson would have won, if he had known the answer. The prize increases to $35 next week.
March 4th – Mark Treaster with Hutch for Haiti Relief program.
Newsletter Question – What extra curricular activity does Todd Ray do each summer, which is a carry-over from his old job?
