HUTCHINSON CHAPTER OF AMBUCS
GUESTS: Ryan Diehl & Leslie Shea representing Kids Vote for Reno County
THE SERGEANTS SLAUGHTER: Sergeant (Bob) Bush and his Sidekick (Jim) Seitnater were a little short with their list, but long on their collections. The onslaught started by picking on Don Grossardt for showing up for the 6:15 meeting that had been cancelled. Then they nabbed Stan Macgirvin for sitting with Don, who probably also showed up for the cancelled meeting. (guess you boys should have read the newsletter or the special email that went out cancelling the meeting) Brad Thompson paid the tax on his 50/50 pot winnings. Sergeant Bob pronounced today as Chili Fest Friday, so all the AMBUCS celebrated by donating their dollars for not having any idea as to the names of or where the hottest peppers in the world could be found. Any AMBUC attending the Chili Fest tomorrow (Oct. 27th) should have been well prepared for any hot and spicy chili. Jim Seitnater bought a fine to announce that he is a Grandpa once again. Ward Davis bought a fine to announce the Reins of Hope Fall Benefit Auction is next Saturday night (Nov. 3rd) in the Sunflower North Building on the Kansas State Fairgrounds. Sergeant Bush rang out to a sigh of relief that his reign of terror is over as a new sergeant takes over next week. Nice last week of work for the duo as they raised $68 for the kids.
THE PRESIDENTS REIGN: President Wicks reported that the next T-Shirt committee meeting will be next Friday, November 2nd at 6:15 a.m. The next AMBUCS Board Meeting will be on Friday, November 9th. Doug Foss announced that at this time, he does not have anything for a Community Service Meeting, but if anything comes up, he will contact those member for an impromptu meeting.
CLUB ANNOUNCEMENTS: Check your calendars and get signed up to help with the next Casino Night. We are on the calendar to do a Casino Night for CHS Foods on Friday Night December 7th.
The Membership Committee has changed the date for the Membership Drive Steak Fry, which is now on for Saturday February 16th. Mark it on your calendar and begin talking to your friends/acquaintances/clients/etc Talk to them about AMBUCS, show them the passion you have for this club, and get them excited to want to attend the Steak Fry so we can show them what the club is all about, and potentially grow the membership of the club at the same time.
PROGRAM: Ryan Diehl & Leslie Shea came to the club to spread the news about Kids Voting Reno County. This program was modeled off of Kids Voting USA and Kids Voting Kansas. This program is being presented within the Hutchinson, Buhler and Nickerson School Districts, as well as Holy Cross School, to acquaint children with the voting process at a young age and encourage discussion between parents and children about the candidates and election issues. They are encouraging all voters to vote and to take your school age children to the polls with you so that they can vote as well. The program ultimately wants to get the youth acquainted with the democratic process and interested in it enough for them to register to vote when they become of age, so that they can exercise their right to vote and have the feeling that they are truly apart of the democratic process. Dont forget to exercise your right and go to the polls and vote on Tuesday, November 6th, and if you do happen to have school age children, take them with you and encourage them to vote in the Kids Voting Reno County election.
