The Kiwanis new year begins Oct 1st and with that, we welcome new leadership with new ideas to help our community and grow our Club. Last year was great, but we can do better! There are many projects in the works and now is your time to get involved. Unfortunately, unless we have more growth in membership, we’ll have to look at a dues increase to offset the recent costs from Kiwanis International and general expenses. Be a part of the solution by inviting someone to join.
We are! As we approach our 100th anniversary as a club, Eric Krebs has arranged a committee to help with planning for this great event. We need your help with ideas for marketing and the physical planning. See Eric to be a part of this committee.
Gratefully we were spared from the most recent hurricane, but many were not. If you would like to contribute to the relief efforts through Kiwanis, consider donating to the FL Kiwanis Foundation at: floridakiwanisfoundation.org.
All of the funds will be used for clubs in the damaged areas.
Why do we need more members?
The obvious reason is that with more members we can do more service. But on a practical side, based on the law of averages the more members we have paying dues helps prevent large dues increases, due to consistent meal costs.
Invite someone today to help serve more children and keep Kiwanis affordable.
• Join us at the Buddy Walk on Oct 5th for the Down Syndrome Association.
• Help cook & serve pancakes at the Council on Aging’s Fall Festival on Nov. 2nd.
• Prepare for our Christmas in November auction for the kids.
• Support our Service Leadership Programs in schools.
• Bring a potential member to a meeting or one of these projects.
• Don’t forget Meals on Wheels.
