GUESTS AT OUR CLUB...
Megan Zhao and Christopher Zou, co-presidents of Huron High School Key Club, guests of Mary Stewart; Esther Hampton, Juliet Taylor, and Cynthia Reid, guests of President William; Larry Memmer, Governor-Elect of Kiwanis of Michigan; scholarship awardee Myles Miller and his mother Ever Miller, guests of Peter Schork; Melissa Zhou and Jared Feldman, UM Circle K; and prospective member Jim Dries, guest of Jerry Brown.
HOSPITALITY… Eloise Lavin advised that Ralph Moore, a charter member of AA Western Kiwanis, passed away on May 24 at age 92.
Interim Report Continued from Page One...
The Special Committee will be recommending to the Board this month that two new com-mittees be formed, Risk Management and Operations Coordination and that two new paid positions be created, Administrative Assistant and Volunteer Coordinator. In addition, an unpaid volunteer position of Frontend Team Leader is recommended. The person in this position would act as Head Cashier for the sale and operate in somewhat the same capac-ity as the Officer of the Day at KCD. The Special Committee worked hand-in-hand with the Personnel Committee to update the job descriptions for all current paid staff positions and to create job descriptions and determine pay ranges for the two new proposed positions. According to Special Committee Chair Alan Burg, it should be noted that the report as presented is an Interim Report and that the committee’s final report to the Board is likely to contain additional recommendations. For more details, please review the Special Commit-tee’s Interim Report which was emailed to you on May 31 with the subject line, “Alan Burg's presentation Monday on Future Staffing Needs”.

SCHOLARSHIP AWARDED...
Peter Schork introduced academic scholarship recipient Myles Miller. Myles said he will be attending the University of Toledo to study Finance. While at Skyline HS, Myles was captain of the football and track teams.
KEY CLUB MAKES WARM THE CHILDREN DONATION...
Megan Zhao and Christopher Zou of Huron HS Key Club, guests of Mary Stewart, told us they raised over $400 for Warm the Children by hosting a pizza and movie night at Huron.
Note from Bob Gray: I don't think it was mentioned at the meeting, but I discovered when I was identifying people in the photos of the presentation to Mary Stewart for Warm the Children that Christo-pher Zou was already in my photo file as the Alan M. Dailey Memo-rial Scholarship Recipient on April 30. They are “giving back” al-ready at this early age. These students are AMAZING!
