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

make this year one of the best Kiwanis years ever.
Welcome to the
