OUR HISTORY

THE QUAD CITIES WINNIES BEGAN AS A SMALL CHAPTER ON JUNE 1, 2002 WITH 8 MEMBERS AND 6 COACHES. OUR FIRST OFFICERS WERE BILL THOMPSON, PRESIDENT, STEVE OESTREICHER, VICE PRESIDENT, BETSY OESTREICHER, TREASURER-SECRETARY, WITH MEMBERS JOHN AND SHIRLEY GROVE, JOE AND ANN WILHELM, AND PAT BOLEMAN. LATER IN 2002, DARYL AND MARY REITZ JOINED AND IN 2003 THE CLUB ADDED RON AND KAREN SHEETS AND RON ANDJOYCE BOWMAN.

AS OF JULY 2006, WE HAVE GROWN TO 16 COACHES. THE CAMPOUTS AND MEETINGS ARE PLANNED IN ADVANCE BY MEMBERS SUBMITTING SUGGESTIONS WITH AT LEAST ONE CAMPOUT OR MEETING PER MONTH. NO ONE IS EXPECTED TO MAKE EVERY EVENT, BUT WITH THE NUMBER OF OUTINGS WE HAVE EVERYONE HAS THE OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE. NOT ONLY DO WE HAVE A GREAT TIME, BUT WE ALSO DO COMMUNITY SERVICE. WE HOLD AUCTIONS TO RAISE MONEY THAT WE DONATE TO SELECTED CHARITIES AND WE HELP LOCAL NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS WITH OUR TIME AND EFFORT.
