Kiwanis of the year lunch confirmations needed.

Windy Smith told members that there are 2 more Wednesday's to bring in their  bags of clothes and food. Tomorrow - She wants everyone to bring in a grocery bag of canned and dried foods. She says, "You can do it! And it will make such a difference in the lives of so many homeless children suffering because of this recession. It may not be hitting La Canada Flintridge hard (luckily) but it sure is hitting other areas quite hard."

Windy says, "So again I say, raid that pantry, pull out all all the cans and boxes of food you are not going to eat anyway, gather up some of your old clothes, and bring them to the meeting. If you want me to collect them from you car after the meeting just let me know and I will happily come to your car and get them!"

Windy adds, "I am looking forward to seeing each and everyone of your smiling faces tomorrow. You have all become such a wonderful part of my life!"
