==========================================================

Two inter-clubs were visiting today, 4 members from East Lansing and 4 members from Lansing Golden K.

Carla Johnston: Several of us attended the Spring Divisional last Friday which was very well attended. Our Club received several awards.

The Yard Sale is coming in April, Bob Nelson will have all the information.

I would like to see more members volunteering for our various activities. We don’t want the same people always doing the work. You do not have to volunteer for long periods of time, many times and hour or two is a big help.

We expect a large turnout for the Super inter-club here on April 22. I had a call from Clinton Township and they expect to bring 57 people.

Bob Nelson: Jo and I are working on the Indoor Yard Sale. We need help setting up on April 14 and 15 as well as sale days April 16 and 17. The Sale will be held at the Faith United Methodist Church, 4301 S Waverly Road, the same location as last year. There are sign-up sheets, sign up even if you can only work for an hour or two. We also have signs that you can take to your various businesses to advertise the sale. If you have donations for the sale bring them to the church on the 14^th or 15^th. If you can’t do that bring them here the week before and we will take care of them.

Rod Conrad: The Prayer Breakfast will be held here on April 1 at 7:15am. That will be our meeting, no noon meeting that day. Area Clubs are being invited. There are sign-up sheets for our members so we can give our caterer a count.

Bill Maher: Clarence Smith asked me to announce he will be having a meeting of past presidents sometime soon to determine nominees for Officers and Board members for next year.

Bob Nelson again the song leader,… this week "We of Kiwanis" and "Smile."
