August 13, 2009 Meeting
Our Club, as well as the other Clubs in the area, were guests today of
the R. J. Sheffel Memorial Toy Project at their open
house.
Scheffel Toys provides wooden toys and games, hand crafted by volunteers, for children who are disadvantaged or in crisis.. Guests were provided lunch and given the opportunity to tour the facility, with the Scheffel volunteers, see the many different toys and how they are made.
Dennis Dudley, President of Scheffel Toys, greeted those assembled and introduced Ingham County Prosecuting Attorney Stuart Dunnings III. Mr. Dunnings commented on the positive effect the work of Sheffel Toys and Kiwanis Clubs has on young people in the area.
Several donations to the project
were made by the Kiwanis Clubs present including a $250 dollar gift from our
Club, presented by Yvonne Groak.
In his comments Clarence Smith
reminded our members, who have not already volunteered to help with the Kiwanis
Kids Tents at the LaborFest on Sept 5, to sign up for
a shift.
Everyone’s help is needed to
support this opportunity for Kiwanis exposure at no cost to our Club. Contact
Clarence or Jo Grubbe.
Jim Dalton has provided the shift
schedules for the Texas Hold 'Em games on Aug 31,
Sept 1 and Sept 2 at Trippers in Frandor. Our Club will be the sponsoring charity on
those days. Click schedule to view.
Before the event Jim will be
sending an email to those involved with the rules we are to follow and the
final shift schedule.
If you have questions call Jim
at 324-1050.
Next week we will back at our regular meeting place , the Eagles.
