Monday Morning

There were 19 members at our Monday meeting along with our guest speaker, Annie Moore, President of the Fond du Lac High School Key Club.  “Happy Bucks” were offered by Harry Schneider for the Pork Fest being over and also for a very enjoyable Oktoberfest in Appleton, Dan Leeds for his newest granddaughter, Charlene Pettit for a well done Pork Fest and Gary Miller for Annie Moore joining us on Monday morning.  Marlin reported that meals served at the Pork Fest were down about 260 from last year at 1,355.  There were 751 take outs and 604 dine in meals.  More results will be reported as all the expenses are tallied.  Dawn Scannell was the winner of the 50/50 raffle drawing and she drew the Ace of Clubs, not a winner.  Next Monday’s 50/50 Raffle will have 51 cards in the game including the nine pay cards.

Annie Moore, Fondy High Key Club

Annie Moore, President of the FDL High School Key Club, joined us on Monday to outline the plans for the Key Club this year.  Annie said the Club has three major goals for this year:

  • More active participation of more members.  Currently it appears that 80 dues paying members will be in the Club.  How they get more participation from these members will be the challenge.
  • Increase fund raising efforts to build the treasury so they can continue to supply Golden Books to the newborn babies at Agnesian HealthCare.
  • Attempt to get more Key Club members to out breakfast meetings on Monday and get to know our members and vice versa.

The Key Club will be cleaning up their section of Hwy 23 East of Fond du Lac on Sunday.  They also are tentatively planning their StoryBook Land on February 20th and Youth Services Day will be April 27th , both major service projects.

Monday Morning

We had 16 members at our road trip to the North Fond du Lac Horace Mann Key Club for our Annual Appreciation Breakfast.  Former member Rich Traxinger joined us for breakfast and to check out how everyone was doing.  There was no 50/50 Raffle drawing this week.  Next week’s drawing will have 39 cards, including seven pay cards, and a pot of at least $160.

North Fond du Lac High School Key Club

Jean Hintze, NFDL Horace Mann Key Club Advisor, and a number of NFDL Key Clubbers welcomed us on Monday morning for our Annual Appreciation Breakfast.  No one should have gone away hungry as they provided a wonderful variety of bagels, breakfast sweets, various fruit offerings and juice and coffee.  Jean turned the program over to the Key Clubbers and they led us in the Pledge of Allegiance and the Key Club Creed.  The current officers then introduced next year’s list of officers.  They noted that they had 62 members this year and raised almost $503 from five different fund raisers.  They also detailed all of the activities/money donated back to the community. They donated $2,319 back to a number of causes in addition to a total of over 2,080 hours of volunteer time to a long list of causes/agencies.  The list included things such as Friendship Learning Center Halloween Party, NFDL Optimist Pancake Breakfast, Friendship Learning Center Tutoring, Autism Child Care and many, many more.  The group then talked about a special project (Riley’s Project) that provided household/personal care items to needy families.  The NFDL Key Club also had another banner year of Excellence Award Winners (Five Members) at this Spring’s DCON.  The NFDL Key Club Scholarship Awardees; Riley Behnke, Shelby Demboski, Nicole Fox, Alexus Kraus and Elizabeth Redmond were introduced and gave a brief report of where they’re going to college and what they hope to study.  And finally, the new officers unveiled their goals for next year; new volunteer venues, 10 Excellence Award Winners at DCON, Polar Plunge continued success and continue to collaborate with NHS and Student Council.  GREAT JOB!!
