ANNOUNCEMENTS:

Last night was the last meeting of the old Board of Directors and first meeting of the new board. Please take the time to thank Jerry Wade and Dale Cronwell who are stepping down, along with Hy as long-serving board members. The old board voted to contribute to the food bank at the First United Methodist Church in memory of former member Dave Loiry who passed away last week. The new board approved $600.00 to pay the dues for our two K-Kids and one Builders Club and also help the Northside K-Kids with their upcoming participation in the Christmas parade.

Hats-N-Hugs: Remember you can add $5.00 to your bill to help the club purchase bears for this worthwhile project. See Peggy Hudson for details.

The Golf Tournament is almost here! Sponsors are still needed for Junior Golfers and we still have room for golfers. Everyone needs to be at the Hombre this Saturday no later than 8:00 to play and around 7:15 to help set up if you are working the tourney. See Dan Chagnon to help with any last minute details.

Council on Aging Fall Festival is set for November 7th. Kay Cherry will pass a sign-up sheet for volunteers to help with this great Community Service Project.

PAYPAL is now available for those members who wish to pay with a credit or debit card for dues, donations, etc. Go to the website: www.panamacitykiwanis.org and click on “donate”.

New “BUTTON” on the website for members to click on for Kathy Adams (Human and

LAST WEEK'S MEETING:   Banquet - Last week we had a very well-attended round table prior to our Annual Banquet. Those of us who attended the Banquet got the opportunity to thank Stan for his service as out-going President and welcome the new administration. We also had some special recognitions: congratulations to Dan Chagnon as “Kiwanian of the Year” for all his hard work. A heartfelt award of a Foundation Plaque to Hy Wakstein as a retiring Board member following 40 years of service. A very special award to Brian Hinton of a Ralph Davis Fellow for stepping up this past year to lead this club in the times Stan was unable due to job obligations. We also inducted all our new officers, recognized those with perfect attendance, and handed out distinguished service awards to those members who have contributed as committee chairs and served us welli n 2008 - 2009. We were pleased to see many of our Sponsored Leadership Faculty Advisors and school principals joined us as well and look forward to a great new year.

PREVIOUS MEETINGS:
Col Mark McQueen, a Lynn Haven resident, is a US Army Civil Affairs Officer and gave us a fascinating presentation on the changing role of our military to meet the challenges of the 21st Century. Needless to say, his presentation was a real eye-opener on all the work our military does to keep us safe and on the “cutting edge” of today’s technology.
