A Message from President Ron Boyce
Our club continues to surge forward! Our SLP clubs are raising record
amounts of money to support children, the Aktion club raised over
$1800 For Healthy Start, Bay Haven and Surfside fund-raised funds and
diapers too! Our satellite club is already planning fund raisers. Our
Christmas auction was a great success, thank you everyone for making
it so successful and fun. Several members met Saturday and have
started the 3-year strategic plan. Our next step is to conduct a club
survey in January which Bob has taken on. We should be ready to roll
out the draft plan by the end of January. Finally, during this season let's
take time to be thankful for all our blessings. Happy Hanukkah and
Merry Christmas!
Diapers, Bids, & Meals, oh my!....
November was a busy month in Kiwanis and all the thanks go to you, the members. We began with cooking and serving a pancake breakfast for the Fall Festival at the Council on Aging. 11 members worked the early morning generating 41 service hours and helping to raise a portion of $29,000 in matching funds. The Meals on Wheels crew serve every month and this was no exception with 16 service hours delivering meals to those that are home bound. Then came the Diaper Drive concluding with
Yacht Club closing for remodeling… for the first 3 weeks in January, the Yacht Club
will be closed for some necessary renovations. But we will still meet and at the time of
printing, the location has not been selected. Have no fear, you will be notified. So, look for
something new and different on Jan. 3, 10, and 17.
What is Kiwanis………………?
“Kiwanis is a global organization
of volunteers dedicated to

the members, and our SLP Clubs, collecting over 3,000 diapers and wipes which were given to Healthy Start for those in need. We ended the month with the world-famous auctioneers, Brian Hinton and Bill Hudson enticing bids of $1,955.50 for the Christmas Auction. The Chautaugua Aktion Club also raised $1,800 and purchased toys, all of which were donated to Healthy Families. WOW! Thanks for making the Holiday season better for those that are less fortunate.
