Kiwanis District Convention
A great time was had at our Kiwanis District Convention in Orlando. There were many workshops,meetings, and a little fun! We gathered a lot of information on membership and some possible new ways to help children in our community. We celebrated our accomplishments, learned from one another, made new friends, and returned home inspired to continue the work of Kiwanis.
I am filled with gratitude, excitement, and optimism for our future. Each member has the ability to create positive change, and when we unite our efforts, we can have an extraordinary impact.
So, look for ways to embrace the ideas that President Eric will bring and just say “how can I help” as he prepares for the new year.
We still have two months left in this Kiwanis year and we want to finish strong by recruiting several more members and planning more service.
Who knows, you might want to consider going to next year’s convention in West Palm or International in Dallas. See you there!
Maya Angelou said: “To make a difference is not a matter of accident, a matter of casual occurrence, of the tides. People choose to make a difference.”
Kiwanis makes a difference. Nor are we Kiwanians by accident, we have chosen to make a difference one child and one community at a time.

Myron sent us a new logo for our meals on wheels program. Luckily, we don’t have that issue here, but we do need more volunteers. See Kathryn Hart to sign up and maybe we can get you a faster bicycle.
