THANK
YOU!!!!!! I want to take a moment to thank all Kiwanians for your efforts in the 40
th Annual
Kiwanis TV Auction. A special thank you to Jason Malmstrom for accepting the role of
Auction Chair and in turn putting a challenge out to the club. Jason’s
challenge this year was to increase our net proceeds by 10%. We are still waiting
for our final numbers, however, it appears we have a minimum increase of 35 – 40%!
Everyone that assisted with the auction, thank you!!! We had more kids of all
ages participating than we have had in several years, we had more super major auction
items then ever, and we had a great time! Thank you again!!!
As we set our sites to the future, we continue to grow and expand our club. We have
been averaging a new member a month this Kiwanis year. Please continue to invite
your friends and business associates to join us. It is working!!!!
As many of you have heard, we are also selling the MN PGA Golf Access Cards this year.
These will be an outstanding way for us to generate some additional revenue for the
club. The cards are $49.95 and the Kiwanis Club will profit $20.00 per card sold.
Please look at the following web site to learn more about the card and where it is
available. www.mnpgagolfpartners.com Thank you for your efforts!
Have a great May and I will see you on Wednesday!
Recent extreme weather events and natural disasters
throughout the world have caused devastation in many areas. These events have prompted
Kiwanis International and the Kiwanis International Foundation to issue a special plea for
contributions to the Disaster Relief Fund.
“Kiwanis
has received numerous messages of concern for the well-being of those affected by natural
disasters,” said Kiwanis International President Dave Curry. “As a result, we
are asking people to donate to the Disaster Relief Fund, particularly to help and support
children, who have been so tragically affected.”
Working with clubs within the affected areas, Kiwanis
will ensure contributions are directed to help children who have the greatest immediate
and critical needs.
You can contribute to the relief efforts or send
your support to the Kiwanis International Foundation Disaster Relief Fund, 3636 Woodview
Trace, Indianapolis, Ind., USA 46268.
“Our
thoughts are with the countless children suffering because of these disasters,” said
Kiwanis International Foundation President Jane Erickson. “We can be the ones to make
a difference by helping them when they need it most.”
