I know people fall in love and get married every day, so that's normally not big Kiwanis news. But when was the last time that a Past President (Roger Willers), falls in love with the new President (Carlene Paulson). I would guess not very often. Their wedding is set for April 10th. Please help in wishing them all the best. At Vikingland great events are celebrated with a poem.
At Vikingland Kiwanis
We try new things most every year
We aren’t afraid to pave new roads
We never had a speck of fear.
In past years you’ll remember
We proved our unique worth
By convincing one of our members
It’d be cool to just give birth.
So, how do you top that effort
Many notions we’d have to carry
Why, let’s convince 2 of our members
It’d be cool if they’d decide to marry.
But who could we find to do it
To meet, have fun and to mingle
And of course, one important factor
They’d first off have to be single.
The Willers guy– works at Eide Bailey
A past president, he talks the most
He dresses kind of funky
And he’s skinny as a fence post.
But who’d be interested in Roger?
And, YES, it has to be a girl
She’d have to be a good sport
To give this plan a whirl.
She needs to be exceptional
Smart and witty, a sight to be seen
Why, we have just the member
The Paulson girl, named Carlene.
But how do we get them together
A club gathering, we could mention
So off we sent them together
To the Nashville Kiwanis convention.
Hands off, we can’t do everything
Just let nature run its course
We’ve done all we can do
Bad things happen when we force
Soon an announcement at a meeting
It sounded a little sappy
A wedding joyfully announced
With a dollar said to be happy.
This marriage will be a great one
And you can take that to the bank
Love is said to be the reason
But it’s us Kiwanians you can thank
So here’s to Mr. & Mrs. Willers
The marriage nuptials they will share
Congratulations on a perfect union
If you ever need us we’ll be there
We’ve now a major problem
For which we’re quite perplexed
We’ve brought it on ourselves
For what shall Vikingland do next!!
