1. Pres.  Don  asked  if  anyone  would  be  interested  in  going  on  interclubs  to  other  club  meetings  in  our  division  and  some  possibly  outside  of  our  division.    By  a  show  of  hands  there  would  be  some  interest.  

2. Tom  Harvey  received  an  e-­‐mail  from  Alan  Minton  asking  if  we  would  participate  in  the  MLK  (Martin  Luther  King)  food  drive  at  Ross’  on  Jan.  16,  2017  (Mon)  at  5  -­‐6  pm.    Would  need  2  or  3  members.  

3. Two  12’  Kiwanis  Streamer  Flags  have  been  ordered.  4. Selected  a  Motorists  Business  Policy  to  insure  our  

vehicles,  building,  and  contents  on  or  off  the  property.    Effective  date  is  Dec.  12,  2016.  

 P R O G R A M   Sally  Schaadt  introduced  Rev.  Casey  Wilson  Centenary  United  Methodist  Church  Senior  Pastor.     Rev.  Wilson  has  been  in  full-­‐time  ministry  since  1997.    He  joins  Centenary  from  Asbury  South  UMC  in  Columbus  and  previously  served  as  associate  pastor  at  Wesley  UMC,  in  Bryan,  Ohio;  lead  pastor  at  Amlin  UMC  in  Dublin;  and  executive  pastor  at  Lewis  Center  UMC  in  Lewis  Center.     Rev.  Wilson  grew  up  on  a  farm  near  Mt.  Sterling.    He  earned  a  bachelor  of  arts  degree  in  psychology  and  French  from  Ohio  Wesleyan  University,  and  a  master  of  divinity  degree  from  Boston  University.     He,  his  wife,  Sharon,  and  son  Matthew  look  forward  to  being  a  part  of  the  Granville  and  Licking  County  communities.     We  are  enjoying  Granville.    We  moved  into  the  parsonage  the  end  of  June  this  year  in  time  for  the  4th  of  July  Celebration.  The  parsonage  is  located  on  the  corner  of  E.  Broadway  and  S.  Pearl  St.    It  seems  like  a  party  is  going  on  in  Granville,  with  the  Farmers  Market,  Pelotonia,  Porsche  Car  Show,  Turkey  Trot,  and  the  Candlelight  Walk.    When  Dave  asked  me  to  speak  tonight,  I  asked  him  what  type  of  message  he  would  like  me  to  talk  about.    Dave  commented,  “I  shouldn’t  have  to  tell  a  minister  what  to  say”.         Casey  distributed  a  sheet  of  three  Christmas  Carols;  Hark  The  Herald  Angels  Sing,  Silent  Night,  and  Joy  to  the  World.  Christmas  Carols  are  associated  with  Christianity,  but  carols  have  nothing  to  do  with  the  church.    They  are  the  result  of  Celtic  nation  fertility  rituals  and  pagan  dances.    Christians  adopted  these  carols  and  dances.    Around  the  7th  –  12th  centuries  they  were  banned  from  churches.     In  the  year  1223  St  Francis  of  Assisi  held  a  service  with  a  nativity  scene  with  animals  and  baby.  The  Franciscans  delivered  lively  music  in  worship.    In  the  17th  century  the  English  Puritan  Church  abolished  Christmas.    They  felt  people  were  having  too  much  fun  and  it  was  becoming  too  commercial.    If  they  celebrated  Christmas  it  was  related  to  witchcraft  and  people  were  jailed  and  two  were  put  to  death.  In  the  18th  &  19th  centuries  carols  once  again  became  popular.     “Hark  the  Herald  Angels  Sing”  by  Charles  Wesley.    Charles  Wesley  wrote  over  9,000  poems  or  10  lines  of  verses  every  day  for  50  yrs.  This  song  begins  with  the  Shepard’s  and  who  Jesus  is,  the  King  who  brings  peace  between  God  and  sinners.    In  Wesley,    Jesus  as  a  baby  brings  peace  and  life  to  all  incarnate  with  eternal  life  and  resurrection  of  life  on  earth  with  birth  and  the  later  picture  of  life,  death,  and  the  resurrection.    The  music  was  by  Felix  Mendelssohn,  a  Jew.    It  would  not  be  expected  that  music  by  a  Jew  would  be  combined  with  words  written  by  Wesley.    In  the  15th  century  William  H.  Cummings  an  organist  combined  the  words  and  music.    We  sang  verses  1  &  3  accompanied  by  Casey  on  the  Trumpet.     “Silent  Night”  by  Joseph  Mohr  in  1816.    Franz  Gruber  composed  the  music.    In  preparation  for  the  children  of  the  

church  to  sing  Silent  Night  at  a  midnight  mass,  Franz  was  practicing  on  the  organ  when  it  broke.    It  is  said  he  then  used  a  guitar  to  play  Silent  Night.      However  there  is  no  evidence  that  this  actually  happened.    Joseph  is  said  to  have  wanted  the  song  played  with  a  guitar  accompaniment.    In  1860  the  song  was  translated  from  German  to  English.  Silent  Night  has  been  published  in  100  languages.    During  the  World  War  in  1914    the  Germans  were  singing  Silent  Night  and  the  allied  forces  recognizing  the  tune,  joined  in  singing  it  and  for  a  while  there  was  peace.    The  Christmas  truce.      We  sang  verses  1  &  3  accompanied  by  Casey  on  the  Trumpet.     “Joy  to  the  World”  by  Isaac  Watts  in  1719.    Famous  carols  at  that  time  were  to  be  hymns  for  church  services  and  not  Christmas  carols.    The  hymns  were  to  be  based  on  the  bible  verses.    This  song  is  based  on  Psalm  98;  judge  people  with  equity,  King  will  send  a  savior,  receiving  Jesus,  announce  to  the  world,  and  preparation.    Lowell  Mason  added  the  music  in  1839  from  an  arrangement  by  Handel.    The  music  tells  the  Christmas  story  and  starts  high  and  down  to  a  lower  scale  of  God  coming  down  to  earth.  We  sang  verses  1  &  3  accompanied  by  Casey  on  the  Trumpet.     “Thank  you  for  inviting  me  and  may  your  Christmas  season  be  filled  with  peace  of  mind,  hope,  joy,  and  love”.      5 0 / 5 0   d r a w i n g   w i n n e r   – Lesa  Miller  –  no  jackpot     but  Lesa  does  win  a  free  Kiwanis  dinner.    Standard  Operating  Procedures  for  Allocation  of  Kiwanis  Club  of  Granville  Funds  

(Circa  2012,  prelude  to  Ralph  McGrath’s  Treasurer’s  reports)\  

1. Each  Kiwanis  committee  chairperson  has  the  authority  to  approve  expenses  within  their  budget.  If  a  member  is  proposing  to  withdraw  money  out  of  a  committee's  funds,  that  member  must  contact  the  chair  of  the  committee  prior  to  the  request  and  obtain  approval.  

2. Requests  should  include  the  name  of  the  organization  the  money  is  for,  why  the  money  is  being  requested,  the  organization's  purpose,  and  how  this  request  for  funds  furthers  our  Kiwanis  motto:  Serving  the  Children  of  the  World.  

3. Priority  should  be  given  to  requests  for  local  organizations  within  Licking  County.  If  the  request  is  for  a  national  organization,  then  it  would  be  expected  that  there  would  be  a  major  need  for  the  funding,  since  most  local  organizations  are  in  need  of  funds  and  the  majority  of  the  membership  prefers  to  keep  the  funds  local.  

4. All  requests  for  funds  over  and  above  a  committee's  budgeted  amount  should  be  submitted  in  writing  at  least  one  week  prior  to  the  monthly  Board  meeting  if  at  all  possible.  This  will  allow  Board  members  enough  time  to  speak  about  the  proposal  ahead  of  the  Board  meeting  and  get  the  consensus  of  the  membership.  

5. Any  non-­‐emergency  requests  for  funds  over  the  budgeted  amount  must  be  approved  by  the  board.  

6. If  the  combined  budget  for  the  club  results  in  an  excess  amount  of  monies  remaining  at  the  end  of  the  administrative  year,  then  those  monies  may  be  carried  over  and  re-­‐assigned  into  the  Principal  for  the  Foundation.
