A Message from our President

As we approach the Christmas Season, it’s a good time to consider how fortunate we are and to count our blessings!   We are all a part of Kiwanis for one reason or another, but it all comes down to helping others in need.  Thank you all for everything you do for our club and I wish you a very merry Christmas!

Jim
