Kiwanians Honored at Cheers for Volunteers

servlet

 

The Kiwanis of Fabulous Fond du Lac is pleased to have several “Cheers for Volunteers” awardees that are connected to our Kiwanis Club; members Gary Ring and Brenda Schaefer, as well as NFDL Key Clubber Dylan Palmer will be honored at the upcoming (May 1) Cheers for Volunteers banquet hosted by the Fond du Lac Volunteer Center. We have great pride for these members and Key Clubbers for their service to our community and their commitment to the Kiwanis vision. Congratulations Gary, Brenda, and Dylan!

Kiwanis Membership Initiative

Monday Morning
We had 20 members at Monday’s meeting at Faro’s Restaurant. “Happy Bucks” were offered by Ron Seidl for making it another year, Bob Kahl, several $$ for his 52nd wedding anniversary and finishing a babysitting stint for seven of their grandchildren in several different locations and finally Sharon Kollman for their weekend visit to watch their grandson in the marching band at the University of Louisville football game this past weekend. Gary Miller announced that the Youth Services Committee has been working on the distribution of up to 12 iPad Minis in conjunction with Governor Messer’s Autism Project. It looks like three of the Mini’s will go to North Fond du Lac recipients and nine to Fond du Lac recipients. Thanks to the Young Children-Priority One Committee for their allocation of $2,000 to this project. Dan Leeds was the 50/50 Raffle winner in our new game and he drew the Four of Clubs, not a winner. That leaves 50 cards with nine pay cards for next week’s drawing. The new pot next Monday will be at least $27.

District Convention Membership Initiative
Gary Ring presented a program on what he learned about membership growth at the District Convention. The program focused on the Kiwanis One Minute Speech about what Kiwanis does and how our members benefit our community. Gary encouraged everyone to practice their one minute speech so it’s ready when they need it.

New Officers Installed


The 2012 Kiwanis of Fabulous Fond du Lac Officers

The Kiwanis of Fabulous Fond du Lac recently installed new officers as they looked back over the previous year of making a difference in the lives of children in Fond du Lac and the world. Gary Ring led the ceremonies as his last formal duty as club president before passing the baton to Marlin Towne who will lead the club for the coming year. The highlight of the night was honoring Jan Krug as Kiwanian of the Year for her tireless efforts in promoting and maintaining the organization’s goals and fundraising. We look forward to a new year as we continue our efforts making a difference in the lives of children all over the world. All officers and directors


Congratulations and thanks to Jan Krug, our 2012 Kiwanian of the Year
