Announcements
Carla
Johnston: I would like to express my thanks to all of you for
being so active in bringing in new members and for being such a warm,
welcome and fun group that makes people want to join Kiwanis. I'm very
proud of how everyone works together in our service to our community and
each other. Let's keep up the great work and make this year one of the best
Kiwanis years ever.
Welcome to
the inter-clubs visiting us today as well as our prospective new members
Jason Dombroski and Brandi Eckert. William Fluke is interested in our Club
and we hope he will be here next week.
On Monday
I received a phone call from a gentleman from Kiwanis Division 6. They would
like to have a group from their Division visit our Club. So on Apr 22 they
are coming here… 57 of them. Our Lt Governor will be here as well as members
from other Division 16 Clubs, so I am told we need room for 120 people. We
will be getting a head count for Deb and she says no problem she can handle
it.

We are going to have an inter-club at Holt next Monday evening, Mar 15. They
meet at 6:30pm at 4230 Charlar Drive in Holt. This is off Cedar St, south of
Holt Road.

provided a copy of the lyrics and led the singing of "When Irish Eyes are
Smiling" getting everyone in the mood for St. Patrick’s day next Wednesday.
Although Clyde Flory was available the piano apparently has a malfunction.

Bucks
Dennis
Churchill, a happy dollar for a great time on our vacation in sunny
Florida. The weather was great, we had a lot of fun.
