Newsletter 06/28/2013

Guests: Dave Jones–United Cerebral Palsy of KS; Warren Boman–Hutchinson Community Garden. Both were guests of Jeff Roberson, both scheduled to be our speaker for this morning. I am sure the Sergeants will want to investigate this dilemma.

Sergeants Playground: Brad and Stan collected their easiest fine ever, as Sheriff Randy Henderson volunteered to pay a membership renewal tax of $20. President Dane paid his weekly tax thats $1 each for last week, this week, and next week, WHEN WE ARE NOT MEETING. Late fines were levied upon Tim D and John K. Jeff B got caught associating with a bunch of losers. Tom H had to pay for a cell phone mishapyoud think he could handle that after 75 years with Alltel and Verizon. Brad and Dan Power were at the same Chamber meeting and Brad was unimpressed with Dans corny jokes, costing Dan a $1. Darren W announced the birth of a new grandson. Jay P barely survived a wild night, explaining why he is moving so slowly this morning. Curtis M, Guy G, Bob B, Eric S, and Ward D all flunked the pin check, costing each one a $1. Fred C paid to advertise the Mid-State Street Rods car show at Carey Park on July 3rd from 6:00PM until dark. There is no entry fee to show a car and no charge for admission. Craig J paid his $1 to fink on Harley M for mowing his lawn without a shirt on. Since nobody would touch this, the boys rang out.

Announcement: There is no meeting next Friday, so dont show up and be embarrassed.

Program: Dave Jones is the Executive Director of United Cerebral Palsy of Kansas (UCP-K), located in Wichita, KS. It was founded in 1953 by a group of parents seeking to provide educational & therapeutic services for disabled children. Its mission is to advance the independence, productivity and full citizenship of people with CP and other disabilities. This original dream has grown to a large operation, providing training and jobs for challenged persons, living facilities for those who do not function well in the normal family setting, and are a source of funding and resources for individuals and families who cannot afford to high cost of equipment and services required to remain functional. Center Industries of Wichita, KS provides both jobs and training to enable those with disabilities to become productive citizens rather than burdens on our already challenged health and welfare programs. Several websites will give you a better idea of the scale of this organization. Try www.ucpks.org. or www.cprf.org.

Drawings: Curtis Mitchell won the $16 50/50 pot and donated it to UCP-KS. The newsletter drawing would have gone to Don Rogers had he been in attendance and STILL A MEMBER. That little bag of chips needs some serious work. The question for the meeting on July 12th is How many members showed for the July 5th meeting and left a message for the Sergeants with the Town Club staff? Make your guess and maybe claim $25.

Upcoming Programs: July 12th Warren Boman of Hutchinson Community Garden; July 19th TECH
