Dear Fellow Kiwanians,

Well, we have come through another third of our year and have seen lots of activity. We have accomplished several fund-raising and services projects. As we all know, there is still work to be done.

The Rose committee is working hard to put together a fundraiser where we sell roses for Administrative Assistants’ day. This group has some new ideas and also new marketing ideas. If you are interested in helping them out, contact Donna Logan to join the committee.

Many service projects are also continuing. The Nurse’s project is one of those projects we don’t hear a lot about, but it does continue. Kiwanis allows school nurses to purchase items such as clothes and shoes for children they are working with and believe are in need of these items. The school nurses are given the freedom to buy at their discretion and when we raise money during our projects, we know that the funds are going to kids in need.

At the last Board of Directors meeting, a donation was approved to Burlington High School . Rod Bell presented a funding request for the BHS students and agreed to match the donation from Kiwanis. Thanks Rod, for bringing this to the Board of Directors and for matching the donation.

The Board of Directors also approved a new member, Elyn Holten Dean, one member change to Senior Membership and one Transfer from Rick Schoof. Rick is now in the Tipton area. With those changes our membership remains at 196. If you know of any prospective members, please ask them to attend a Thursday meeting. We would love to have them in the club.

Lastly, on the next few pages of the newsletter you will see a farewell letter from the editor of the Kiwanis Newsletter, Tom Cameron . Tom, from everyone who reads the newsletter each month, we want to say THANK YOU. Thank you for your many years of time and thoughts that have been a part of the Kiwanis Newsletter.
