   MAY MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

Members of Kiwanis Clubs across the world are known for their volunteer spirit. It is the same with our club.

A special thank you to all who participated in the February 28 Annual Chili Day! Your efforts raise funds for over eighteen community projects which support our children and youth!

But this is just the beginning!

You have opportunity to volunteer...
your voice (Read Around the World),
your brawn (strength), (Kiwanis One Day and Japanese Garden Day),
your appetite (Pancake Day--STEAK FRY),
your love (Mom's Baby Shower),
your joy (Pets in the Park),
your creativity and suavity (Key Club Banquet),
and your brain (Trivia Night)!

These are just the activities and events scheduled during the next four months!

Of course, our weekly lunches have some of the best programs of any club in Independence--every Tuesday--at Ophelia's (thanks to Barbara Langley). And we are always done by 1:00! Some of us have difficulty getting away for lunch, so we meet twice a month at Old Mexico Restaurant at 5:30. Check the newsletter sent to you by Judy Luffman every week for specifics.

I encourage all to check out the website once a week for updates on these events and click on the volunteer buttons to let us know we can count on you.

Independence is a better place to live for all because you care,,, and you share!
