We had another good meeting on Monday and hope you can join us next Monday. We had 20 members in attendance this week.

Our guest speaker will be from the Boys and Girls Clubs of the Mississippi Valley!

As we wind down the school year, we have one more round of Terrific Kids. We need one more volunteer for Longfellow Elementary on May 30th at 2:30. If you can assist, please sign up.

The John Deere Classic is also right around the corner. The Kiwanis clubs are once again in charge of gallery management for Holes #2 and #3. If you are able to volunteer, please let Don Wentler know and you must register on the John Deere Classic website.

Announcements

Speaking of the John Deere Classic, Andrew Lehman, Executive Director, was our guest speaker. Andrew started off by listing all of the awards our tournament has won over the years - 9 times Most Engaged Community, 3 times Best Title Sponsor Integration, and more.

But the real success story of the Classic is Birdies for Charity. Last year, they raised over $15.9 million for local charities, and have raised over $189 since the tournament began, with 99% of that since John Deere took of the title sponsorship. This has goneto 476 charities.

This year's tournament will feature two great concerts again on Saturday and Sunday - Dierks Bentley and the Zach Brown Band.
