TODAY’S PROGRAM…
Ypsilanti Youth Orchestra Evan LeRoy introduced Bill Hayes,
Music Director and Con-ductor, and Verna Hayes, Presi-dent and
Administrator, of the Ypsilanti Youth Orchestra. Ver-na and Bill
are members of the Ypsilanti Kiwanis Club and have
adopted a motto for the Ypsilanti Youth Or-chestra—“It’s All for
the Children”—that is similar to the Kiwanis motto—“Serving the
Children of the World.”
Founded in 1999, the Ypsilanti Youth Or-chestra offers music
education and perfor-mance opportunities to students aged 3-18
years. The Orchestra serves youth of di-verse backgrounds and
socioeconomic sta-tus, is tuition free for students and families
and provides more than two hundred Ypsilanti area children with
access to music education. Currently, the organization consists of
not only a full orchestra but also nine pre-orchestra student
groups, a string quartet and a jazz ensemble.
Verna told us of Jubal, who is said to be a descendant of Cain
and father of all who make music. This most definitely includes
Bill, Verna declared. Verna described a University of Michigan
student group that helps coach and mentor Ypsilanti Youth Orchestra
students and that is providing some funding that is available to it
through UM grants. Concerts in recent years have been held at the
Ypsilanti Community Middle School, but the youth orchestra has lost
its home and is looking for a new venue suitable for its
performances.

GUESTS AT OUR CLUB… We were delighted to host Esther Hampton,
spouse and guest of Pres William, Ingrid Sheldon, spouse and guest
of Cliff Sheldon, and Arno Buhrer, spouse and guest of Pat Buhrer.
Jyoti Gupta was hosted as guest of Deb Jones while Kathy Hellner
and Mama-dou were guests of Harry Hawkins.
HOSPITALITY… Just after ringing the bell to call our luncheon
meeting to order and as the first order of business, Pres William
welcomed back Ray Argyle, who had been out of town for a short
period following the death of his wife, Diane, on June 7. Later,
Pres William reported that Nick Dever’s son, Brian, was involved in
an ultra-light airplane accident with surgery to be performed later
in the afternoon. Brian suffered extensive injuries to one leg and
foot.
ANNOUNCEMENTS… Pres William announced July birthdays and
extended belated birthday wishes to
Mamadou, whose birthday was June 27. A rousing chorus of Happy
Birthday followed.
Speaking of birthdays, Max Ziegler came forward to inform us
that the Washtenaw Dairy is celebrating its 85th birthday this
month. The Dairy is under new ownership, which—thanks to our dear
friend, the late Jim Smith—is contractually obligated under its
purchase agreement to provide Washtenaw Dairy donuts to our club
for the next 25 years. A card was circulated to permit all of us to
extend warm wishes to the Dairy for continued success featuring the
largest ice cream cone in town and for many more years of
outstanding community service.
There was no interclub report.
Pres Elect Dan Dever reminded us that he has sent a Constant
Contact email to all club members, requesting that each of us click
the “here” button within the email to be directed to a
questionnaire regarding committee assignments for the next fiscal
year and regarding Thrift Sale work assignment options. Copies of
the questionnaire were also placed on the luncheon tables for our
convenience. Each of us should return our completed questionnaire
to our Administrative Assistant, Mary Schwartz, by July 15.
PRESENTATIONS...
Pres Elect Dan continued by reminding Peter Schork that he had
been gifted a stat-ue of a hippopotamus from Thrift Sale in-ventory
several months ago and that it is now time that Peter pass this on
to a new Kiwanis recipient in the spirit of “Christmas in July.”
Without missing a beat, Dan asked George Gilligan to join him at
the podium for the gift of a new treasure from the Thrift Sale
inventory. Observing that George en-joys fly fishing in Montana,
Dan presented George with a large, stuffed rainbow trout,
expressing the hope that George would be
satisfied with this as a substitute for the real thing,
permitting George to stay with us in Michigan this year. George
graciously accepted the colorful stuffed fish but was silent about
cancelling any upcoming fishing trip.

PRESENTATIONS CONTINUED FROM PAGE 2...
Wishing to extend special thanks to a special person, Pres
William laid the founda-tion by telling us of the wonderful
scholar-ship support, leadership training and special aid provided
to the children of the world by the Kiwanis International
Children’s Fund. Pres William then announced the name of Bob
Johnson, as the recipient to be hon-ored by the Children’s Fund for
his gener-ous support. When Bob was called forward to receive a
special card and pin from Pres William on behalf of the Children’s
Fund in recognition of Bob’s support, it was discov-ered that Bob
had already left, although Don Kossick told us that Bob left behind
his quarter to cover the usual club fine. Pres
William called Don forward, asking Don Kossick to see that Bob
Johnson received the recognition card and pin from the Children’s
Fund.
FINES…
Garry Donner was glad that “Christmas in July” had been
mentioned earlier, and this caused Garry to reflect on Salvation
Army bell ringing. Garry felt that should have al-ready been
mentioned, and, since everyone forgot about the Salvation Army,
Garry proposed that everyone be fined a quarter. Despite the
protest of Kathy Barden-Perlberg, Pres William ruled that the
motion passed unanimously.
HAPPY DOLLARS…
Dale Leslie is proud that his son is to be a professor at
Colorado State University, located in Fort Collins, Colorado, and
is surprised at the number of Kiwanians who have been to Fort
Collins, including Fred Sanchez, who told Dale that he has been to
Wyoming and that is close enough to count.
Ray Argyle contributed $53 happy dollars in celebration of 53
wonderful years with his fantastic wife, Diane, who died in early
June. Ray expressed his thanks to eve-ryone at Kiwanis for their
heartfelt support.
Kathy Barden-Perlberg appreciated last week’s Past Presidents’
Picnic held at the Springer residence on North Lake. Kathy is
thankful that Sallie Springer continues to open her home, with the
support of the whole Springer clan, to host the Past Presidents’
Picnic even after Sheridan’s death in April 2018. Sheridan’s
birthday would have been June 30.
George Gilligan, observing that Bob Johnson contributed happy
dollars on his 50th wedding anniversary and that Chris Winkler did
the same on his 51st wed-ding anniversary, threw happy dollars in
the pot to celebrate his 61st wedding anni-versary with his lovely
wife, Mary.
Jim Dries was happy and contributed to recognize help from Evan
LeRoy.
