Weekly Kiwanis News 12/21

There were 30 members in attendance today. We passed the hat for donations in appreciation of the Uptown Cafe staff who serve us throughout the year and presented the gift to them. Verle reported a can deposit of $75.70 and noted that there were 31 participants in the Genesis Tour of Lights event. A good time was had by all and treats were enjoyed at Dairy Queen. Thanks to Linda and those who drove. Vern reported that the Salvation Army Bell Ringing total so far is $5,383 with the goal being $6,000.

Linda reported that the Aktion Club had their gift exchange at their meeting Monday. They donated $100 to the Salvation Army Bell Ringing and the Hat & Mitten tree was a great success with the donations going to the school nurses and early learning center for distribution. Pat & Hollie reported that they attended a planning meeting in Boone for the April Teen Maze event. More information as the time gets closer on this event.

There was no program today. Happy Holidays to all and best wishes for a great 2012!!
