KARES…
There
will be a KARES distribution
Tuesday, December 16th
at Woodland Heights Elementary
starting at 9:45. There
are six people signed up.
Please remember that school
clocks are six minutes
fast, so be there early.
Kathy Calvin also reminds
the club that on January
5th, at our next meeting,
Joe Adringola will have
a sign up sheet for the
next Kiwanis KARES, which
will be at Elm Street School
on Monday, January 12th.
Please check your schedule
and sign up if you are
available.
IF
YOU GET THE CHANCE…
Stop
in and visit Ed Chertok, who is back from Florida and not in good health.
Ed is back at Woodside at the Taylor Community and is inviting guests
between 10am and 2pm. Visits are preferred over phone calls, as Ed may
not be able to hear you so well on the phone. We certainly will keep
our eldest member in our thoughts and hope for a speedy recovery
What's
your
name?...
Steve
Loughlin advised the membership that he will soon be printing up a new
batch of name tags. Anyone needing name tags for themselves, spouces, or
significant others should email Steve Loughlin with the name(s) you would
like printed. Deadline for your request is December 29, 2008.
Hello
from Florida…
Joe
Collie received an e-mail from Senior Member Jim Fortier’s
wife, Arlene. The Fortiers are settled in Florida for the winter. Here
is what they had to say:
Please give all the Kiwanians our best wishes for a Merry Christmas and
a Happy and Healthy New Year! Hope everyone is doing o.k. with the terrible
weather we've been hearing about. We've had some cool days-60's and nights
in the low 40's but also some nice warm days in the 70's and low 80's. This
week should be in the high 70's so will be very pleasant. We are keeping
busy exploring places we hadn't been to before and Jim has been putting in
some shrubs and flowers, feeding turtles in one of the ponds and also feeding
peanuts to the squirrels in one of the parks here in Barefoot Bay.
We will be flying home on Jan. 21st. to see our new grandchild due on Jan. 12th to our daughter Lisa. We are hoping the weather won't be too bad while we are there for the week. Jim will be able to attend the Kiwanis meeting on Jan. 26th. The Kiwanis Club here in the Bay was disbanded for lack of membership.
Happy Holidays to All! Enjoy the Christmas party tonight.
Jim and Arlene
