ANNOUNCEMENTS
On behalf of The La Cañada Kiwanis Board, Bill Scherkey asked
that the club vote on a one-time $100 assessment per member to
pay International-level dues. International-level dues are paid
annually each October. Currently, the club must borrow from the
Foundation to pay these dues in advance of being collected from
members. The motion was voted upon and approved by a two-thirds
majority of the members present.
This meeting was the final opportunity to collect donations for
the Kiwanis Doctors Program for this year. So far, donations
exceed $2,100 for this program.
The La Cañada Kiwanis Installation Dinner is scheduled for
Wednesday, September 24, at the La Cañada Flintridge Country
Club beginning at 6 p.m. Members can still sign up by
contacting Paul Westmoreland.
Club members who signed up for the Men
About Town event should provide their check for $125 to Paul
Westmoreland by September 25th. This is a
community-wide event sponsored by the LCF Chamber of Commerce
that occurs every other year.
The La Cañada Kiwanis will celebrate 60 years of service at
Octoberfest on Saturday, October 18th, at the La Cañada Thursday Club. The event will include a cash bar, dinner
and entertainment. The price is $51 per person. Sign up by
October 10th at the club meeting or by contacting Cory Stevens
at corystevens@ymail.com.
THE PROGRAM
President’s Swan Song - Diane DellaValle ended her term
as President by recognizing each Kiwanis member with a personal
note of thanks along with a special memento. Members were given
an opportunity to “roast” Diane, but most chose to thank her for
her outstanding leadership and to recognize her many
contributions.
