Welcome to Monday News NEXT MEETING November 23 rd – 6:15 PM Granville Inn – Denison Rm. Meal Cost $10.00. Program – “Trivia Night” coordinated by Steven Spoo. I don’t know if this is a specialized, general, or just the heck of it trivia. So come on down Monday and find out. Maple Tree planting at the Granville Elementary School Thursday November 12 th . The following Kiwanians helped at the tree planting: Bill Brady, Walt Chaney, Mike Flood, Don & Alice Lewis, Jen Lewis, Dave Thomas, Bob Warner, and Tim LePontois. Bev DeHaven (Joe Ciricosta’s daughter) was there to help plant the tree honoring Joe and Bernice. The intent is to install a plaque at the entry to the original Elementary School off Bev adds a shovel o f dirt to the hole Granger, listing the people who are honored by the planting of the trees. “Each tree will be dedicated to the memory/honor of a person who has been influential in the schools.” Jessica Wilson sent out this statement to the second grade teachers on 11/10 explaining what the purpose of the planting will be and they could invite the students’ parents to attend the planting. I am glad to say some did attend. The students watered the trees, filled and compacted the dirt around the root ball of the tree, spread topsoil and mulch around the tree. One pupil asked how old the trees were? Mike said they were about 7 – More water 8 years old. He talking to the 2 nd graders who were born about the same time the tree was born so to speak. And it is up to them to grow now and to remember they helped plant this tree, and they can come back and point out to their children that they helped plant this tree. The first tree planted at the Playground fence is in Honor of Jessica Wilson. The second tree In front of the existing elementary school on Granger St. is in honor of Joe and Bernice Ciricosta. I didn’t hear who the second and third trees planted at the playground fence A stomping good time. were in honor of. The names that have been mentioned are: Kiwanians Bob Mason (elem. Sch. guidance counselor), Charlie Morris (elem. Principal), Fred Weaver. Bob Also mentioned is Noreen Pinkerton (retired 2 nd grd. teacher) who was very active in helping to teach the students about maple syrup production and I liked the red head covering. arranging for their trips to the sugar shack. I don’t know if this means anything but when we took a lunch break I noticed two deer, an 8point buck and a doe at the School Districts office building. They may have been looking for fresh Maple trees to feast on and they went to the wrong building. I don’t know for sure but? BLAST Volunteers The following Granville Key Club members: Brenden, Courtney, Evelyn, and Mitchel volunteered at the Look Up Center on Thursday 11/12/15. Newark Presidents Party 11/16/15 Walt Chaney, Alice Lewis, Jen Lewis, and Jerry Miller, attended the Newark Kiwanis Presidents Party honoring past president David Doney.

The second CD continued from 1985 to +/2013. It was said a particular table recognized several of the Kiwanians in the pictures. Boy did those people look young.
