Donations can be brought to our weekly meeting or dropped off at Dave Twohig’s business, JJC Interiors, at 84 S. Main St. during the month of February. The February Food Drive will benefit the Church of Peace Food Pantry.

Kiwanis Happenings - February 9, 2012

Monday Morning
We had 17 members and 10 guests at Monday’s meeting. Joining us were our guest speaker, Lynn Hill from MPTC along with numerous recipients of over $1,300 donations from the Youth Services Committee. Receiving donations were:

Thanks for Supporting Casino Night

About 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 Kiwanis International project to help ELIMINATE maternal/neonatal tetanus (MNT) 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.

Storybook Land Returns

It 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.

Well, it's been a couple of weeks since we had an update, so here is what has been going on.

Monday Morning
We had 19 members and our guest speaker, Sandi Roehrig, Executive Director of the Fond du Lac Area Foundation, at Monday’s meeting. Gary Miller had a “Happy Buck” for winning a vacation time share at Trinity Baptist School’s Annual Auction. Kathy Schreiber was the 50/50 Raffle winner and she drew a Jack of Spades, not a winner. There are 37 cards left in the deck, five of which are pay cards.
