pAbout 90 gamers and a crew of dealers, money changers, ticket sellers, and staff at the Ramada Plaza Hotel made the WI-UM Casino Night January 28th a huge success. Almost $1,800 was earned for the a href=http://www.theeliminateproject.org/ target=_blankKiwanis International project to help ELIMINATE maternal/neonatal tetanus (MNT)/a from the earth. This deadly disease steals the lives of 60,000 innocent babies and a significant number of women. The goal is to immunize more than 100 million mothers to protect their babies./p pa href=http://fdlkiwanis.org/thanks-supporting-casino-night target=_blankread more/a/p

pIt is time once again for the presentation of “Storybook Land” by the Fond du Lac High School Key Club. On March 10th the Key Club members will bring to life stories such as Peter Pan, Old McDonald, The Wizard of Oz, and Snow White. Parents are encouraged to bring any children ages three to ten to enjoy the journey from one story to the next. The doors will open at 9:00 AM, and tours will begin every ten minutes from 9:00 until 12:00. Each child, upon experiencing all of the five stories, will receive a free children’s book, compliments of the Key Club./p pa href=http://fdlkiwanis.org/storybook-land-returns target=_blankread more/a/p
