I want to thank Linda Owens, Cheryl Field, Tim Popejoy, Janet Popejoy, Clay Austin, and Barrett Glascock for covering in the kitchen on a night that they had other plans. You saved us on a busy night of Bingo! On the next morning, May 2nd, Bryan Chapman was kind enough to take notes so that I could continue to improve. Most of the following bulletin will be Bryan's wording, with some additional information that I have received. We had 158 players for Bingo on May 1st and a happy player took home the $1,199 jackpot. Three horse races were sold and the kitchen made almost $700. Speaking of the kitchen, the “Help Wanted” sign is out for anybody who would like to volunteer. There will be meeting on Sun. May 18th for anyone interested in helping with the kitchen. Please come out and help! Breakfast this morning was provided by Bern Bonderer, John Travlos and Robert Blake. Wednesday night Jessi Kendall represented the Club by handing out scholarships at the High School Awards Ceremony. Our speaker today was Jenny Grabner. Jenny is the executive director of the Southern Boone Learning Garden. It's hard to believe that the Learning Garden has been in existence for eight years and they have grown and prospered (no pun intended). They are a non-profit and their web site is www.sblearninggarding.org Each classroom in the learning garden has a row, and the garden is up to 37 rows. Last year, over 300 pounds of sweet potatoes were harvested and consumed in the school cafeterias. They work closely with OPAA (OPAA is the firm who runs the cafeterias in Southern Boone) to bring their produce directly into the schools and they are trying to work with local growers in an effort both to support local agriculture and to go right from field to the table.

The grant runs through 2017, so the community has the next two years to decide on a plan of action to find a funding mechanism to keep things moving. Next Saturday, May 9th, everybody is welcome to bring a Mom or mother figure to breakfast. We only ask that you let Barrett Glascock or I know by Friday of this week if you are bringing a guest so that enough food can be prepared. Linda Knierim and Carrie Fischer could have won the attendance drawing but “Oh Boy” Marvin Bennett was glad to dance out the door with the jackpot. Please make sure that the Fishing Derby, scheduled for the morning of June 13th is on your schedule. There are still plenty of spaces to sign up to help with this wonderful program. Also put June 27th on your calendar for the Bike Safety program that we will be doing in conjunction with River Regional Credit Union. Times and more information will be provided in the future.
