ANNOUNCEMENTS

Howard Backer announced the doctor program. Mary Gant needs help with the silent auction. Bill Sherkey has additional tickets to the Gourmet Food & Wine event. Carl Christenson needs help setting up on Saturday at 1:00 and tearing down on Sunday at 5:00 for the Gourmet Food & Wine event. Carl Christensen announced two interclubs: first the LCF am group next Wednesday and the 24th at noon.

This is the last opportunity to sign up for our Installation Dinner on Wednesday, Sept. 24th.

The Division 3 Installation Dinner will be at the LCF CC on Monday, September 15th, at 6:00.

A clipboard was circulated for the Men About Town. This is a community wide event sponsored by the LCF Chamber of commerce that occurs only every other year. It is a fund raiser for the chamber and is a non-Kiwanis event. Tickets are $125 each. If you plan to attend, make your check to Paul Westmoreland by 9-25-08.

Bill Sherkey announced that the club has been borrowing money from the foundation and to make it up, they need to assess a one-time $100 fee per member. Then dues will be collected as usual. We will vote on this next week.
