Saratoga historian, Willis Peck provided our program this afternoon on the topic of the history of Cupertino.

It was interclub day with Mtn. View. Six members, including Lt. Gov., Greg Rubens and incoming Lt. Gov., Dan Hoppe attended.
Kiwanis Business
Just a reminder that the Sr. Luncheon is coming up quickly (Sept. 9th) and that everyone is expected to participant in some fashion. Please be at the Senior Center between 8:00 - 8:30am.
Dave has asked since he doesn't have time this year to actively gather prizes for the golf tournament that each member try and solicit and/or donate at least one prize themselves.
Art mentioned that he was at the Lt. Governor's installation last Friday and that it was very well attended.
Art has requested that everyone be thinking about who deserves the honor of Kiwanian of the Year for 2005/2006 as the vote will take place shortly.

Doug was happy about the A's.
Dave G. was happy to say he found our fine-free badge in the parking lot after the meeting last week and he tucked it safely away in his automobile. However, sad that he locked his keys in the car this morning so he couldn't bring it with him.
Kristin was happy to get a last-minute call to take her daughters to a volleyball tournament in Carmel.
Sandy Gumm was happy a dollars worth that at the last minute he was able to get enough folks together for an interclub with us.
Lastly, Dan Hoppe and Greg Rubens were both happy to add a buck to our ever-growing pot.

Mtn. View member, and perpetual lunch guest Doc, won $3 from us in today's draw.
Have You Heard The One About......????
A keen country lad applied for a salesman's job at a city department store. In fact it was the biggest store in the world - you could get anything there.
The boss asked him, "Have you ever been a salesman before?"
Yes, I was a salesman in the country" said the lad.
The boss liked the cut of him and said, "You can start tomorrow and I'll come and see you when we close up."
The day was long and arduous for the young man, but finally 5 o'clock came around. The boss duly fronted up and asked, "How many sales did you make today?"
"One," said the young salesman.
"Only one?" blurted the boss, "most of my staff make 20 or 30 sales a day. How much was the sale worth?"
"Three hundred thousand dollars," said the young man.
"How did you manage that?" asked the flabbergasted boss.
"Well," said the salesman "this man came in and I sold him a small fish hook, then a medium hook and finally a really large hook. Then I sold him a small fishing line, a medium one and a huge big one. I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the
coast. I said he would probably need a boat, so I
tookhim down to the boat department and sold him
that twentyfoot schooner with the twin engines.
Then he said his Volkswagen probably wouldn't be able to pull it, so I took him to the car department and sold him the new Deluxe Cruiser." The boss took two steps back and asked in astonishment,
"You sold all that to a guy who came in for a fish hook?"
"No," answered the salesman "He came in to buy a box of Tampons for his wife and I said to him, 'Your weekend's shot, you may as well go fishing.'"
