Our Annual Christmas in November is right around the corner on Nov. 20th and it’s a fun event benefitting homeless and foster children. Bring a toy, food item, anything that someone would want to buy. Great time to do some Christmas shopping, or you can donate the items back for the kids. And of course, guests are invited to join the fun. Items go quickly so bid high and bid often.
It all happens within our club meeting so make plans to attend and you might want to arrive a little early to scope out the gifts. If you cannot attend tell Keith an amount to put on your bill.
Another great Kiwanis tradition is to “Ring the Bells” for the Salvation Army. Our day is scheduled for Dec. 6th in front of the Lynn Haven Walmart. It is also noted that the Salvatiion Army needs volunteers to help stuff packages with items to give to those in need. See Sharon Trainor for a work schedule..
We’ll miss you for a few meetings due to the days of the week that holidays fall this year.
No official meetings on: Nov. 27th due to Thanksgiving, Dec, 25th is Christmas, and Jan. 1 for New Year’s Day.
I’ll be around for all except Christmas so, give me a call and we can have lunch.
Call to all members
What better time of the year to invite someone to join Kiwanis! The holidays always bring out the “giving” in all of us and there is no better way to give than being a member. Invite someone to the Auction, to Ring the Bells, or to one of the Christmas Choir performances.
We’ll take care of the rest and get them
an application!
Invite someone today to help serve more children and keep Kiwanis affordable.
On Saturday Nov. 2nd we had a great time cooking pancakes for the Council on Aging’s Fall Festival. 15 members donated 60 service hours to help cook and serve approx. 200 attendees.

This festival helps the Council on Aging raise more than $20,000 in matching funds to better serve our elderly community. This is a long-standing tradition for our club, and it helps us prepare for our “big event” in April.

Inspirational Moments
for Kiwanis
The French philosopher Montaigne said: “The value of life lies not in the length of days but in the use we make of them."
As Kiwanians, we are contributing a portion of our lives in service to others, so whether our days are many or few, we have added value to our lives and to the lives of those we serve.
