Palmer Kiwanis Chib
Plans Ladies Night
To Be Held Feb. 26
The Palmer Kiwanis Club will
hold a Ladies night on February
26, President Hugh Johnson an
nounced today. Plans call for a
gala evening with a formal in
stallation of new members of the I
club and a program of entertain- '
ment. Tom Day will act as chair- 1
man of the program committee,
taking over for Dr. F. Sims, who
will be absent during that time.
Mr. Day will be assisted by Dr.
Allan Mick, Herb Schmidt, Roy
Brock, Marvin Slaughter and
other Kiwanians Mr. Da3f may i
appoint.
Arrangements for the Ladies
night were discussed at the reg- j
ular dinner meeting Monday, at
tended by 23 members of the
club. Financial secretary Harlow
Hodgson reported that 31 mem
bers have paid their semi-annual
dues. He reminded delinquent
members that last notice on dues
wHl be sent within the next few
days. Failure to pay the dues
means that the delinquent mem
ber will be dropped from the
roster, Mr. Hodgson explained.
Other discussion included a
“good progress” report by Ki
wanis Minstrel Show director Joe ;
Hudock. Most of the music has i
arrived, materials for costumes ■
have been ordered and lights are :
now being made to create new j
lighting effects for the show, Mr. j
Hudock said. Emil Ganschow re- 1
ported that the Kiwanis invita
tional basketball tournament will
be held March 1, 2 and 3. Most
of the teams planning to play in
the tournament have already reg- I
istered, Mr. Ganschow said.
Other business included Presi- j
dent Johnson’s announcement of
the March of Dimes Talent Show
which the Kiwanis co-sponsored
here with the Beta Sigma Phi
sorority. Mr. Johnson also an
nounced a course of instructions
for men to act as medical aids
which has been started here by
the Matanuska Valley Nurses As
sociation. Max Sherrod is instruc
tor for the men’s course.
At the regular board of direc
tors meeting which immediately
followed the dinner meeting
Monday night, 16 members were
in attendance. A lively discus
sion centered around a proposed
membership limit and improved
attendance. Comments made at
the meeting indicate that the
club has reached its maximum
size for available facilities.
“Potential members are ask
ing for the opportunity to join
the Kiw^anis Club, which coupled
with limited facilities means that
the Palmer Kiwanis Club will
have to tighten up on its attend
ance requirements if the club is
to continue to serve the com
munity to best advantage,” it was
stated at the meeting.
President Johnson stressed that
all members of the Kiwanis Club
are invited to attend the regular
board meetings and to participate
in discussions affecting club pol
icies. He added that attendance
at the board meetings is one way
of making up necessary absences <
from other meetings.
