ROTARY NEWS: THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB WILL BE "RINGING THE SALVATION ARMY" BELL AT THE FAREWAY STORE ALL DAY FRIDAY,
DECEMBER 14TH. THE FOLLOWING MEMBERS WILL DO A ONE-HOUR SHIFT STARTING WITH KIM HUCKSTADT AT 10 A.M. THEN BOB OSTERHAUS, AL TUBBS, DENNIS VOY, STEVE FLYNN, TED MAZE, FLORIAN STEFFEN AND
JOHN GILROY.
THE MAQUOKETA ROTARY CLUB REGULAR WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER 19TH MEETING AT THE EAGLES WILL BE THE "SPECIAL" CHRISTMAS PARTY MEETING. CALL PRESIDENT WARREN IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS.
HER OFFICE IS UPSTAIRS ABOVE US BANK IN DOWNTOWN MAQUOKETA.
SHE EXPLAINED THE MANY REASONS AND BENEFITS OF GIVING GIFTS
TO THE FOUNDATION. LET'S SAY YOU GAVE A GIFT OF $5,000 FOR
EXAMPLE. THERE WOULD BE A TAX CREDIT OF $1,250 AND A FEDERAL DEDUCTION OF $1,750 FOR A TOTAL TAX SAVINGS OF $3,000. THAT MEANS
THE TOTAL COST TO YOU OF YOUR $5,000 GIFT WOULD BE JUST $2,000.
HER PHONE NUMBER IS 652-4179 AND THE WEB SITE IS AT www.cfofjc.org
THANKS TO ANGIE FOR VISITING TO ROTARY MEETING. HER ONLY FEE
WAS A GREAT ROAST BEEF DINNER AS ONLY THE EAGLE'S GALS CAN
FIX IT.
CITIZENS OF THE WEEK......
BANK EXECUTIVES, BARB MILLER (MAQUOKETA STATE BANK) AND DWAIN TRENKAMP (US BANK-MAQUOKETA) SHOWN AT KMAQ RIGHT BEFORE
GOING ON THE KMAQ "JUST TALK SHOW". THEY ARE ONCE AGAIN CO-CHAIRS OF THE 26TH ANNUAL CHRISTMAS STAR PROGRAM IN
MAQUOKETA. THE SACRED HEART "KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS" BEGAN
THE HOLIDAY EVENT AND RAN IT A COUPLE OF YEARS AND THEN IN
1987, IT WAS TAKEN OVER BY MAQUOKETA COMMUNITY SERVICES.
DWAIN WAS THE FIRST CHAIRMAN AND THE "CHILDREN'S" TREE WAS LOCATED IN HIS BANK LOBBY. A COUPLE YEARS LATER, A "SENIORS" TREE WAS ADDED AT THE MAQUOKETA STATE BANK AND BARB BECAME CO-CHAIR WITH DWAIN. IN THE BEGINNING, THE STAR PROGRAM WAS FOR MAQUOKETA RESIDENTS BUT A FEW YEARS LATER, IT WAS OPENED TO RESIDENTS OF THE ENTIRE COUNTY. THAT FIRST YEAR, 403 STARS WERE TAKEN FROM THE TREE AND A GIFT WAS PURCHASED BY A VOLUNTEER CITIZEN FOR THE NAME ON THE STAR. THE BIGGEST YEAR WAS 2007 WHEN 712 STARS WERE ON THE TREES, MAKING POSSIBLE A GIFT FOR 712 PEOPLE. THESE PEOPLE REGISTER IN ADVANCE. THIS YEAR, THE PROGRAM WILL EXCEED 15,000 STARS. THE ROTARY CLUB SALUTES DWAIN AND BARB FOR THE MUCH WORK THEY HAVE DONE FOR OVER 20 YEARS AT CHRISTMAS TIME.
