Installation and Removal

Lt. Governor Keller is shown here during the Kiwanis Club of Seward's Installation ceremony today. She is installing new Treasurer Linda Sackschewsky and Secretary Erin Weides. We had a full program of Recognitions, Awards and Installation. Outgoing President Jerry Meyer selected Clarence Wattier and Ken Wulenwaber to share the "Kiwanian of the Year" Award. Jill Purdue was installed as President with Crystal Kirby as President elect and Jonathan Jank as Vice-President. There were also some 15 new members who took the oath of membership. Marv Taylor was recognized for his continuing efforts in bringing in new members.
President Jill Perdue gave a brief outline of priorities for the Club during her year as President. It is great to see the high number of women in our Clubs leadership positions as well as in the percentage of new members.
On a sadder note, I lost an upper back tooth to Dr. Matt Kunasek's strong arms, his experience and knowledge. Elaine worked with the kitchen staff to provide me with a soup, jello and apricot bar supper.  The tooth served me well but had developed an abscess a few weeks ago but Dr. Matt's pill prescription cleared that up. It had been filled several times and it was time for it to go.
