17th Annual Buddy Walk
The Downs Syndrome Association hosted the 17th Annual Buddy Walk where we provided the hot dogs and hamburgers for approx. 250 people. Many thanks to the Sheriff’s Office for doing the cooking. Kiwanis was well represented in our tent handing out coloring books and Kiwanis information.
Ready to Cook some Pancakes?
The Council on Aging Fall Festival will be on Nov. 7th and we will be preparing a pancake breakfast as one of their fundraisers.
Come and help serve and show your Kiwanis pride. This is a good warm-up to our “big event” in the spring.
Christmas in November is now scheduled for December 2. Bring a gift, toy, baked goods, or something to raffle. Then buy several items and donate a toy back to the Salvation Army kids in need. A fun event! Make plans to attend.
Buddha said: “Thousands of candles can be lighted from a single candle, and the life of the candle will not be shortened. Happiness never decreases by being shared.”
Here is a lesson for every Kiwanian. Let’s share our happiness through service to others. Happiness is never diminished by being shared.
Another New member!
Amanda Paz is Retired (with plenty of time for Kiwanis) and sponsored by Marilyn Fenimore.
We have done a great job recruiting new members in the past few months, but what about those who have left us?
Let’s keep our members involved and feeling needed.
It’s been suggested that we have scheduled greeters at the door -great idea! Volunteer to welcome all members and guests to our meetings.
Also, call someone that you have not seen in a while and invite them back to Kiwanis.
For all you trivia buffs, let’s test your Kiwanis knowledge.
When did the No. 1 Kiwanis Club of Detroit first begin meeting as a luncheon club? Where was it?
Attend a meeting to find out the answer.
Did you know the answer last month?
