Dr.
Mike Leininger said
he has left over hamburgers and hot dogs from the Disaster
Preparedness Fair last Sunday and will advise the cost in a few
days. Howard Backer reminded everyone about the Duck
Splash on October 20th at Verdugo
Park. Pat
Anderson announced there will be a Chamber ribbon cutting
soon at a new business called Fancy That; the next mixer is on
October 18th at the Mayor’s park honoring past mayors
and the Elegant Evening still has spaces available for the
October 20th event. On that note, Pat Flynn
purchased two tickets, was only going to be able to use one so
offered it to a member. Daryal immediately spoke up and
he and Mary will now be taking their daughter. Patsy
announced that there will be a Kiwanis night at a Clippers
basketball game in February. Sheree presented Diane
with a crown to use for the 50/50 raffle instead of the bedpan.

well to her treatments.

THE
PROGRAM:
SAN GABRIEL VALLEY FOUNDATION
FOR DENTAL HEALTH
Nick
Berkuta introduced
Edith Valadez who gave background about this non-profit
organization in La Puente that provides quality dental care to
financially disadvantaged children. They offer a patient/family
education program with a strong emphasis on preventive dentistry
that is designed to minimize children’s dental diseases. Among
one of the concerns for the infants is bottle syndrome which
causes deformed teeth. Ms. Valadez graciously answered questions
and shared her enthusiasm for this positive goaled environment.
Nick presented her with the Kiwanis mug with deepest
appreciation for her participation.
