All will have been delivered by Friday morning.  One finished product. Thanks to Charley Esher for leading the building crew through another impressive effort. This is what Kiwanis is all about; using the talents of the members to accomplish good things for the community. There is no telling what hidden talents still need to be brought to the surface.  The Ralph Davis Kiwanis Scholarship House The crew visited the house Wednesday AM with the purpose of touching up the desks. It was unamimously agreed that no touchups were needed. A number of photos were taken of the entire house and will be posted to our Albums site soon, so all can see the house.  This is a bath addition we helped Division 3 build about 10 years ago.  Part of the kitchen.  Bedroom with one desk in place. MEMBER NOTES TOMMY MILLS AND HIS MOTOR CYCLING FRIENDS are headed west.
