Today’s meeting at TROSA
Good Monday morning. I’m looking forward to seeing you at TROSA today for our meeting. Homer Bass brings us Jennifer Albright, MPH, of Adult Care Solutions, LLC. Her topic is “Five Wishes.” Margie will be handling the introduction of the speaker because of a conflict in Homer’s schedule.
Here’s a couple more notes:
- All pancake ticket money should be in as soon as possible - today, if you can. Bill Self is prepared, and anxious, to receive your money today. We are trying to do the final accounting, so we will know what we can do for the community this fiscal year.
- Wednesday, December 7 a number of KCT members will be helping with the Santa Train at the Museum of Life and Science. Patty will bring us more information at today’s meeting.
- December 8 at 5:30, the Pancake Committee will meet for a wrap-up meeting at Haywood’s office. Either let someone know your thoughts or plan to attend the meeting.
- Friday, December 9 we will be ringing the bell at Sam’s Club for the Salvation Army. There’s still a shift from 7 until 8 p.m. that needs coverage. Thanks to all those who have already volunteered.
- I’ve heard rumor that we may have an interclub visit at today’s meeting.
- Circle K’s induction of new members is in the early evening Wednesday, December 7. Please let me know if you might be able to attend to represent KCT.
- The Board meeting for December is scheduled for Wednesday the 14th at Croasdaile Village.
See you at lunch time today.

Kiwanis Meeting TODAY
I’m looking forward to seeing you at lunch time today at TROSA.
Margie has arranged for the author of “Staying Crazy to Keep from Going Insane” to be our speaker. It looks like it’s going to be a fun program. I’ll “paste” his biography at the end of this message, so you will know more about him before you get there.
We will also be talking about the Pancake and Sausage Jamboree to begin the wrap-up of this year’s edition. I believe we were successful in our fundraising, but I also very much enjoyed working with all of you to do something special for Durham. Thanks.

Here’s Cris Cohen’s bio from his web page:
Cris was born in Buffalo, NY, which even people from Siberia describe as “freakin’ cold”. At the age of one, Cris and his parents moved to a suburb of Los Angeles, a city filled with actors and actresses, most of them taking your order at IHOP. Several years later, Cris attended and surprisingly graduated from the University of Southern California. He then fulfilled his parents’ dreams by throwing away his education and working as a DJ in rock radio in Los Angeles and Santa Barbara. In 1994 the station where he was working was sold without notice to a Spanish language station (true). Since his fluency in Spanish was limited to the line “Do you speak English?”, Cris chose to move on and take up serious work. He started writing his humor column for a collection of California newspapers. Cris eventually married one of his editors, simultaneously demonstrating his dedication to journalism and his wife’s lack of taste. Not wanting to spend his days just staring at a desktop computer, he then moved on to the tech world and Silicon Valley, where he spent his days staring at a laptop computer. Although they had made good friends in the San Francisco Bay Area, Michele and Cris wanted to live in a place where the houses cost less than the average nuclear submarine. So in 2008 they moved to North Carolina, where the state flower is an arrangement of pulled pork and hushpuppies.

I’ve tried to gather all this together in one place. Let me know if something is missing.
