Shawn Pollack, Poco Pizza

Poco Pizza – From our farm to your freezer. Shawn set up his pizza store about a year ago. He tries to use ingredients from his family farm, local business Grande Cheese, and crust from Italy. They are all 12 inch pizzas that weigh about two pounds. You can go online to pre order for Saturday pick up or delivery every other Sunday depending on your zip code. In addition to the wood fired crusts, you can get thin crusts from Baker’s Quality Pizza Crusts from Waukesha. You can pick up your pre orders on Saturday from 10-6. You can also buy pizzas directly on Saturday from 10-6 in the store. You can watch Shawn on TedX as he was one of the speakers last year.

Pete Vercouteren, National Kiwanis Convention

Pete represented Fond du Lac at the National Kiwanis Convention in Las Vegas. He started the convention with a new president’s meeting on the Thursday before the convention. All the convention’s power points are available on the Kiwanis web page for members to view. The highest growth in the international family comes from the Pacific Rim. The biggest selling point is our motto “All about the kids.” Two areas to look for new members are retired teachers and parents of the Key Club. We need to invite both Key clubbers and their parents to our events. Bad news, we lost 200 clubs last year. Good news, we started 200 clubs last year. There were almost 2,400 delegated at the convention. The convention was at two of the Caesars’ hotels. Remember the saying “What happens in Vegas, stay in Vegas” is not true about the Kiwanis Convention.
