have experienced cooler and wetter weather
over most of the state since that time. As a fat
guy, I been lovin' it. In June I experienced 5
straight days of substantial rainfall in northern
Morton County. Morton County probably has-
n't had 5 non-straight days of rain in a 6 month
period in the last 10 years. The bad thing about
this cooler weather is it has been great for golf.
Bad only because I have been working enough
that I have not been able to enjoy playing.
21st street in Wichita. I believe that those who
attended had a great time with good food and
plenty of different activities for both children
and adults. I do not know the total attendance
figures, but I think that it was much too low. I
chastised a couple of my peers about their `no
show.' I was told that they did not know when
the picnic was going to be held. Some of our
membership that receive the Bulletin on-line
have learned they must actually log on and read
it if they want to know what is happening. I am
not griping at this people! I realize that we have
all been busy working on prospects and working
in the field. I mentioned to the Picnic Commit-
tee Chairperson, Kimberly Dimmick-Wells, that
perhaps we should spend the extra money next
year and mail a flyer to the regional member-
ship reminding them of the Picnic. I want to
express my great thanks to Kimberly and her
co-workers for all of their hard work in putting
this event together. A great big thanks to those
companies and individuals who donated money
to defray the costs of the Picnic. A list of those
sponsors is on page 16 in this issue.
afternoon of the 6th. Although I was tired, I
was glad we went. Betty has been lucky win-
ning at bingo the last two years. She won the
the River City Brewery in Old Town. I hope
she takes me! The last game was a "blackout"
game for the biggest prize of the evening. The
prize was $25.00 at the Scotch and Sirloin res-
taurant AND a night's stay at The Inn at the
Park Bed and Breakfast on east Douglas in
Wichita. When our illustrious KGS President,
Tom Hansen, yelled "BINGO," I was deflated
as I had only one remaining spot to fill on one
of my cards. Betty looked at my missing num-
ber and said "I have that spot filled." Virginia
Moreland had the same experience on her card.
Each of us made our way up to the Bingo Czar's
podium to challenge for the prize. All three
cards proved to be valid, so a drawing was held
to determine the winner. Sadly, I drew the
highest number and took the prize from Tom
and Virginia. In retribution, Tom had the KGS
Board sentence me to Editor-for-life of the KGS
Bulletin. Strangely enough, a 3-way tie oc-
curred last year for the same prize with Linda
Beauchamp winning the drawing.
games. I want to convey a special thanks to the
prize contributors on behalf of the membership.

Sporting Clays Range. See the enclosed flyer
for details. Any Clay Pigeon animal rights ac-
tivists need to contact Larry Richardson to
lodge their protests. I personally have never at-
tended this event. Having my score of 0 out of
100 posted in the Bulletin would be much too
embarrassing. Winners and sponsors will be
listed in the November/December issue.
Bye for now,
