2. We received a heart wrenching letter from our Past Pres. Dan Hargarten noting
that it is amazing how we and the community get together on Fish Day and through all
the chaos , have a wonderful time and refill our coffers so we can contribute to the
community again in the coming year.
3. Division 11 Council Meeting. It was held Monday night at the Firehouse Pizza in
Sheboygan Falls. This was the final meeting presided over by Sally who has held the
position of Lt.Governor for 2 years. 
It was sad to announce that a long time Kiwanian and Secretary of The Lakeshore
Sunrise Club, Elroy Fenn , died on the golf course last week. We held a moment of
silence in respect for him.
We all gave Sally a round of applause for the great job she has done over the past 2
years. Dallas Behnke will take over as Lt. Gov. on October 1 , 2007.
4. Ralph Hess is back from a big Scout Camp Out in New Mexico. 
5. Foundation Report--By Paul Ehrlich, Paul reported on monies being appropriated
for Eagle scout projects . Also for benches and a table along with possible naming
rights for the Small Park on Jackson street. I'll get the figures later.
6. Interclub---Greater Sheboygan will visit us on August 14th. Paul Ehrlich will
have a program on prison literacy.
7. Gene and John's Fish Day report.  There were some fryer problems. Suggested that
we repair them. Marc Eernisse suggested that instead of spending a lot of money on
the old ones that we rent them like the Post 7588 VFW does for their stand on the
bluff.This will be looked into. A few minor physical layout changes were suggested.
They will be addressed. 
The gross this year was $27,000+ the most we have ever had,. Tips were $577.70. This
is to go to the Playground Fund.

PROGRAM: Jerry Wiskow showed us a video of his trip to China. The part of China that
the tourists get to see is very impressive. There seems to be a great program of
restoring the ancient buildings to their original magnificence.
