New Leadership New Goals
As we begin our new Kiwanis year, there is much to look forward to, and with gratitude we look back at what we have accomplished this past year. You heard all the awards at our Annual Banquet as we celebrated 100 years of service in Panama City.
But most importantly, over 47% of our membership were recognized as going above and beyond to make this club great! President Eric Spoon has appointed his Leadership team and set some lofty goals to achieve our mission of serving children and families. You’ll probably see some new faces and hear some new ideas, so get ready to volunteer.
To start off the year, we’ve approved these on-going projects. So plan on helping out and put them on your calendar: Down Syndrome “Buddy Walk” on Oct. 10th Christmas in November Auction on Nov. 4th Council on Aging “Fall Festival” Pancake Breakfast on Nov. 7th, Veteran’s Day Parade in November, Adopting and Expanding Henry Davis Park -Monthly Clean-up, and Salvation Army Bell Ringing in December. Of course, continuing with delivering “Meals on Wheels” on a weekly basis along with Mardi Golf and Kidfest later in the year.
Eric will tell us all about his plans in the coming weeks as we look forward to an exciting year. How will we accomplish all of this? Ask more people to become members and everyone get on the bus and hold on!
A GREAT way to start the year

For all you trivia buffs, let’s test your Kiwanis knowledge.
When and where was the first International Convention held that was outside of U.S. or Canada?
Attend a meeting to find out the answer.
Did you know the answer last month?
When did the Kiwanians of the U.S. and Canada begin placing “Peace Markers” along the 4,000 mile border between the two countries? (1935)

In about 200 B.C. the Greek scientist Archimedes said: “Give me a lever and a place to stand and I will move the world.”
As Kiwanians, voluntary service is our lever, and Kiwanis provides us a place to stand. Through service, we can move the world.
