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!
