Bern Bonderer and Robert Blake provided a unique breakfast of loaded baguettes, fresh fruit, as well as our usual standards this morning. Ken Bishop mentioned that we are looking for people to help prepare for the Southern Boone Community Leader Breakfast, hosted by the Southern Boone Economic Development Council, on Thursday, April 17th. Breakfast will start at 7:15 a.m. in our building, but we need members to prepare breakfast casseroles Wednesday night. Please contact Ken Bishop, Barrett Glascock, or Leigh Kottwitz if you can help. You can also contact Ken Bishop if you are interested in joining the Optimist Board. There are currently two open positions.
It's Election season and early no-excuse voting will be held at the Southern Boone Library on April 5th from 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Regular voting will be on Tuesday, April 8th from 6 a.m.- 7 p.m. For more information about the ballot or your polling site, go to the Boone County Clerk's page at https://www.showmeboone.com.
Rev. Elmer Schiefer shared that the Family of Christ Lutheran Church will be hosting their drive-through Fish Fry on April 11th from 4-7 p.m. Tickets are $15 for a full meal. Part of the proceeds will benefit Helping Hands Free Store here in Ashland.
Since we didn't have a speaker scheduled this morning, Ken and Jan Palmer shared stories while Barrett explained that our missing tables were being used by the school for a Job Fair, which left room for the Flat Branch Cornhole Tournament that was using the building this afternoon. Barrett figured the poker pot, which Ken won with two pairs, followed by Leigh drawing numbers for Attendance. Nancy Nicholaus and Brandon Glascock had their chance at riches, but Jan Palmer was thrilled to say, "It pays to attend!" when her number was drawn.
