BOARD MEETING - Kiwanis Club and Foundation
Thursday at 7:00 p.m., La Cañada CitiBank
The Prez sez . . .
We have a great opportunity to raise money for our own Kiwanis
Club by giving away our old cars. A fellow Kiwanian in Huntington
Beach is involved in auto auctions. He will handle the car
auction, take a small payment for his services, and the rest of
the auction price will go directly to our club.
Jim Edwards will be organizing a Super Bowl activity.
Look for more information on Kiwanis Family Day at the Races.
Copies of our Kiwanis Division 3 monthly newsletter are available
on the Info Table.
