In April, we’ll return for more reading

at Buckner Elementary, and we’ll have

a cookie bake at Gerard House.

Fred Heismeyer said that at the

recent District Conference, the Dis-

trict decided to return unused funds

to the clubs. Our portion is $9225.

We’ll decide soon how to spend that.

President Joe will update us on our

club goals and activities quarterly.

While Terry Wiggers discussed our

Community Service activities, Presi-

dent Joe (middle) and Kim Penning-

ton hid behind the banners.

Terry said that we need one more

volunteer to help at the Lord’s Diner-

South on Oct. 28.

Our turkey dinner delivery is on a

Tuesday, rather than Wednesday. Our

goal is to deliver 80 dinners, which

cost $50 each. A Mixer will follow.

Kim Pennington said you can be a

reading HERO at Buckner Elementary

on Dec. 4. We’ll read to K-2 students.

You’ll be able to preview the books

before you read to the kids. Some of

the Buckner

students don’t

have books at

home so the

school wel-

comes donated

books.

Our annual

Wichita Chil-

dren’s Home

Christmas tree

decoration day is Sat., Dec. 5. The kids

can give the trees as gifts or keep the

trees to decorate their room.

We’ll help at the Lord’s Diner-

Downtown on Feb. 18.

In March, we have a Wichita Children’s

Home dinner party.

Past President Chris

Kibler (pictured R)

said she can’t get

Garth Brooks tickets

for you, however, you

can purchase tickets

on-line. Garth will

perform in the Intrust

Bank Arena, where

Chris works as the

Assistant General

Manager/Director of

Finance, on at least Dec. 4 and 5,

though Garth is known for adding

shows when the tickets are quickly

sold. “He requires a heavy clearance

window,” Chris said of Garth. “We

can’t schedule anything else

around it.”

Chris said she’s received

numerous ticket requests

from many who claim to be

her best friend. Also, the Are-

na has had to add staff to

accommodate the overwhelm-

ing demand for Tickets by

Garth.

weekend in Wichita. Joyce, the Chief

Operating Officer of the Kansas Heart

physicians earlier this week if she was

still feeling the effects of the 13-mile

run. When Joyce said no, the physician

joked, “Then you didn’t run hard

enough.”

Terry Wiggers, a fan of all things

Kansas State, will attend the KSU-

Texas football game on Oct. 24 in

Austin. “We’re going to spend a long

weekend in Austin,” Terry said, “having

fun wearing purple.” Terry and wife

Wendy will also visit family in the area
