Leadercast 2014: Taking Leadership "Beyond You"

By Rick Martin
May 9, 2014 Full-Day Event Explores Vital Leadership Concepts
IA/IL QUAD-CITIES - "Our jobs ask much of us. And so do our lives. Employees, families, our boss. We have every reason to focus on our own success. And yet, leadership calls us to more. Leadership is beyond the confines of our daily tasks. Beyond the borders of our roles and responsibilities. Leadership asks us to look beyond the everyday and consider the larger community around us - our employees, colleagues, neighbors, and cities. We are asked to look not only inward, but also outward. Beyond ourselves. Join us at Leadercast this year as we explore together what leadership looks like Beyond You."


That statement from Leadercast defines the theme, Beyond You, of this year's Leadercast event on May 9, 2014. This dynamic leadership experience will be simulcast live from Atlanta, Georgia, to metro areas worldwide.
Leadercast Quad-Cities is the simulcast location for the Iowa/Illinois Quad-Cities and surrounding area. This day-long learning event will be held 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., Friday, May 9, 2014, at the i Wireless Center, 1201 River Dr., Moline, Illinois. Tickets are available for $110.00 per person.
"Attendees will be informed and empowered by talks from nine acclaimed leadership experts," said Todd Ashby, Managing Partner of Results Marketing. For the past four years, Results Marketing and select sponsors have been bringing the Leadercast event to the Quad-Cities area. "You can expect to be challenged, inspired, and encouraged. Leadercast offers helpful guidance for community members who want to make a difference at work and in their personal lives."
The nine speakers who will be giving presentations via simulcast at this year's Leadercast Quad Cities will be Andy Stanley, Malcolm Gladwell, Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Randall Wallace, Jack Welch, Laura Schroff, Dr. Henry Cloud, Simon Sinek, and Laura Bush.
"Whether you are leading a major corporation or just yourself, Leadercast Quad Cities can help you to create positive change in your life, your community and the world at large," Ashby said.

25th ANNUAL CHILI COOKOFF FOR MCC QC

By Rev. Rich Hendricks

AT SAM'S FARGO LOUNGE SUNDAY FEBRUARY 9TH AT 5 PM

--COOKIE CONTEST NEW THIS YEAR

Iowa/Illinois Quad Cities - Where can you get all the homemade chili and fixings and dessert you care to eat for only $5? Only at the 25th Annual MCC QC Chili Cookoff! This year's event is being held at Sam's Fargo Lounge on Avenue of the Cities in Moline and the public is invited to come and enjoy all you can eat chili and fixings and homemade desserts for just $5.

In addition, there is no cost to enter your chili in the contest, which is judged by three independent judges. The church offers $75 for first place, $25 for second place and first, second and third place ribbons. This year the Church has added a cookie contest. Again, no charge for entry, just bring at least a dozen cookies - whether drop cookies or bar cookies or any other type of cookie. First, second and third place ribbons and bragging rights go with the cookie contest.

This year's judges are Tom Knocke, Biaggis; Jeff Simpson, QC Pride; and WHBF TV meteorologist, Anthony Peoples. Linda Nimrick remembers the very first chili cookoff we held ? and then she was asked to run it the next year. She reports, "We made $300 and I thought we were rich!" She also remembers inviting our MCC District Leader at the time, Judy Dale, who graciously agreed to take a pie in the face as part of the festivities. But when the time came, Judy ducked and someone else was surprised with the pie in the face. Linda chaired the Chili Cookoff for about 20 of its 25 years.

Pastor Rich Hendricks says, "This is our big annual fundraiser for MCC QC. We really appreciate the community's support, as we are currently having lots of expenses with renting worship space at Tanglewood Chapel in Bettendorf, renting storage space, and paying the mortgage and expenses on our new facility where we are just starting with renovations." Hendricks hopes that the new building at 2930 W. Locust in Davenport will be ready for use for worship by the end of March. "If I can help raise monies by taking a pie in the face, I am very glad to do it - what fun!"

Mary Todtz, event Chair, gushes, "I am so excited about all the items we have for sale this year, and about all the fun we are going to have!" There will be raffles and both silent and live auction items available for purchase, including original art, vintage heritage collection dolls, Elvis clocks, gift certificates to restaurants such as The Crane & Pelican and Azteca and gift certificates to J Michael's Salon, and for photography and D.J. services from Ash Entertainment Services, LLC.

MCC QC is a member church of Churches United of the Quad Cities Area and the Church is involved in feeding the hungry ministries and supporting the works of many area nonprofit organizations.

The annual Chili Cook-Off will be held on Sunday, February 9th beginning at 5 p.m. at Fargo Lounge, 4204 Avenue of the Cities, Moline, Illinois. Doors open at 4:30 and all entries must arrive by 5:00 p.m. to be included as the chili judging takes place promptly at 5:15 p.m., followed by a time of feasting and fellowship during which people can bid on silent auction items. At the close of the silent auction will be a live auction, featuring several special items.

For more information, please call the Church office at 563.324.8281.

New Six Shooter Smoke Whiskey Released at First Friday

By Ryan Burchett

Le Claire, Iowa, February 3, 2014 - Proving they are "Still Crazy," Mississippi River Distilling Company will release a new limited bottling in their Still Crazy series, "Six Shooter Smoke" on Friday, February 7.  There were just over 1,000 bottles of this specialty made.  This is rye whiskey with a cherry wood smoked six row barley added to give it a sweet, smoky nose and finish.

"We've had fun messing around with unusual flavors." said owner and distiller Ryan Burchett.  "Smoke flavor is nothing new to whiskey as Scotch whiskies are well known for their peaty smoke flavor.  But by using cherry wood smoked barley, this whiskey finished with a sweetness and smoke that is more reminiscent of a barbecue than a bottle of Scotch."

On Friday, February 7, MRDC will also be celebrating First Friday.  Chef Steph will have Six Shooter Smoke Cheddar fondue along with chocolate and Iowa Coffee Company Coffee Liqueur fondue to taste.  We'll be featuring the Moscow Mule made with River Pilot Vodka, fresh lime juice and ginger beer in the tasting room along with a Cody Road Hot Toddy.  Just what you need to get through this long winter!

The second in the Union Jack series of pint glasses will also be available Friday night.  For every bottle of spirits you purchase, you'll receive a pint glass that says "God Save The Gin."  Also available to purchase are is first of the series, "Stay Calm, Drink Whiskey" glass.

Mississippi River Distilling Company is open from 10 AM to 5 PM Monday through Saturday and from 12 to 5 PM Sundays.  Free tours are offered to the public daily on the hour from 12 to 4 PM or by appointment.  The tour takes visitors through the entire distilling process.  Tours end in the Grand Tasting Room with free samples of products for those patrons over 21 years of age.

Warm Up with Cocoa & Cookies this Saturday

By NormaLeah Foundation
NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Foundation invites all volunteers -- past, present, and future -- to their 3nd annual Cocoa & Cookies Social. The event will take place on Saturday, February 1 from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. at the foundation's new storefront offices at 1612 2nd Avenue in downtown Rock Island.
The Cocoa & Cookies Social is free to attend and is open to both men and women. "We encourage everyone to bring a friend and help us celebrate our grass roots efforts and learn how we are moving forward with our mission to rise up against ovarian cancer," said Jodie Shagrin Kavensky, the Executive Director of the foundation.
Ovarian cancer has long been considered a silent killer because the symptoms are vague; it is hard to detect, difficult to treat, and there is no reliable screening test. The mission of NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Foundation, headquartered in Rock Island,  is to create public awareness, promote early detection, and support research for ovarian cancer.
All women are at risk for ovarian cancer and approximately 1 in 70 women will develop the disease during her lifetime. In 2013 more than 22,000 American women were diagnosed with the disease and about 13,500 women died from it. The foundation honors the memory of Mrs. Kavensky's mother, Norma Yecies Shagrin and her aunt, Leah Yecies Hantman, whose lives were cut short by the deadly disease. "Sisters share a lot of things but ovarian cancer should not be one of them," Kavensky said.
For more information or to get involved call the NormaLeah Ovarian Cancer Foundation at 309.794.0009, visit our website at www.normaleahfoundation.org or email us at normaleahfoundation@gmail.com

QC Hashers present 4th Annual Red Dress Run

By Shawn Eldridge
ROCK ISLAND, IL ? The Quad City Hash House Harriers - Dirty Pirate Chapter (formerly Raccoon Chapter) (or QCH3), a local group that is part of the loosely affiliated international organization, the Hash House Harriers, and a self described "Drinking Club with a Running Problem," will partner, Saturday, February 22, with local businesses for their 4th Annual Red Dress Run, in which all participants - male and female - don red dresses to show their spirit and draw attention to this annual charity event.

The run begins at 1p.m., at event sponsor, McManus Pub, 1401 7th Avenue, Moline, IL, and in true hashing tradition, will follow a trail determined that day and marked with chalk or flour by the "hares." The trail will include stops for games, contests, cold beverages, and socializing.
All proceeds and donations from this year's run will be go to the Wounded Warrior Project in honor of Flynn G. Schulz - an Iraq War veteran and beloved QCH3 hasher who died in August 2013.
Last year QCH3 raised almost $2000 for the American Heart Association, and pre-registration numbers indicate that amount will be exceeded this year.
The post-run celebration ("on-afters" in hash terms) will also take place at the McManus Pub, and will include food and a DJ.

"The Red Dress Run is not so much a run as a gathering of people with good senses of humor, adventurous spirits and charitable hearts ... and red dresses."
- Quad City Hash house Harriers - Dirty Pirate Chapter founder Nathan Tackett (Raw Deal)

QCH3 4th Annual Red Dress Run sponsors include : McManus Pub · Euclid Beverage · River Cities' Reader · Active Thermal Concepts · AFLAC- Lauren Wiebert Team · Bowen Trucking LLC · Eric Pulford Construction · CSI Insulation · Happy Joe's Pizza · Evergreen Landscape

About Hashing: Hashing was started in 1937 by British expat  - A.S.I. Gispert (or simply "G" as he was known to his friends), living in Malaysia, and is based on an old English game called Hares and Hounds. The group was named after the place many of the Kuala Lumpur-based Brits lived and ate - the "Hash House," with the addition of the typical Hounds and Hares team moniker "Harriers." Thus was born the first Hash House Harriers. After WWII, the practice started to spread worldwide, and then really caught on and began growing exponentially in the early '70s. There are currently about 2,000 active chapters (or kennels) worldwide, including about 400 in the U.S.

The philosophy of the original Hash House Harriers from the 1938 charter:
  • To promote physical fitness among our members
  • To get rid of weekend hangovers
  • To acquire a good thirst and to satisfy it in beer
  • To persuade the older members that they are not as old as they feel

About the Quad City Hash house Harriers - Dirty Pirate Chapter: Nathan Tackett, or Raw Deal, as he's known to the hash, founded the Quad Cities H3 Raccoon Chapter after hashing Iwakuni, Japan, in the Iwakuni Black Sheep Kennel.  Raw Deal and his friend Chad (hash name Beefy) planned the Quad City chapter over beers at a bar (naturally).   QCH3's first hash was January 1, 2010 in -17 degree temps.  10 runners came to the inaugural run.  QCH3 has grown to more than 150 named members and the 4th Annual Red Dress Run will be their 174th trail.

About the Red Dress Run: The San Diego Hash House Harriers started the Red Dress Run in 1988, beginning a tradition of hashers giving back to their communities, and men and women alike, running in red dresses for fun - and a good cause. The tradition of the Hash House Harriers Red Dress Run quickly spread to every corner of the globe, including Beijing, Montreal, Ho Chi Minh City, Helsinki, Moscow, Tokyo, Washington, DC, Hobart (Australia) and countless other locations. Over the years, the Red Dress Run has been very successful in raising millions of dollars for a wide variety of local charities.  The New Orleans Hash House Harriers attracted 7,000 participants to their Red Dress Run in 2010, raising more than $200,000 for 50 local charities.
