Summer has finally arrived! Now that we are through the auction,
it’s a great time for us to grow the club. Thank you to all of the
members of the membership committee that are working hard to grow
our club to 100 by October 1st. Let’s help them out by
bringing a guest!
My promise to the club is that I will follow up
with any guest you invite to make sure they feel welcome. We want
to make sure that these folks understand what Kiwanis is all about.
An upcoming event that we can all start getting
excited about is the September 12th Kite Fly. Chuck
Campbell is working hard to make this the best one ever. We will
once again be having our Kite Fly in conjunction with the Harvest
Festival.

Help Me!...
Support Kids with MD!
This year on Thursday, July 16th I will be involved in
the 2009 Twin Ports Lock Up for MDA, at the Depot.
I’m
asking you now for your donation! Just a dollar or two will be a
huge help for kids with MD
If
I raise $85 it will support 1 minute of research.
Every $800 we raise will
send one child with MD to summer camp.
And $2000 will help a
family with wheelchair assistance, leg-braces, or communication
devices.
Raising $3000 earns a
backstage pass to the local MDA Labor Day Telethon on WDIO Channel
10 with an opportunity to present a check on behalf of our Kiwanis
Club of Friendly Duluth for the funds raised live on the air!
What a great opportunity to get our
club in the public eye, and maybe get a few new members?
I have never done this
before and I’m looking forward of representing our club and to being
locked up and soliciting funds from all my Kiwanis friends!! Yes, I
will be calling you!
Thank you!
Carol Snoeyenbos
Bring a
friend to lunch!
Be the next to bring in a new
member!
Don't forget to invite a friend every week!!
Tricia will have new cards ready for you by our next
meeting.
Thank "YOU"
for bringing a guest!
A huge thank you to the Kiwanians who brought guests and
prospective members to our June meetings!
Facts About Kiwanis
- Kiwanis was organized in Detroit, Michigan, USA, on January 21, 1915.
- Kiwanis focuses on the needs
of ordinary people and children to create extraordinary life-changing moments.
- Kiwanis and its Service
Leadership Programs boast a membership of more than 600,000 men, women, and youth in
nearly 16,000 clubs in more than 70 countries and geographic areas.
- Members of Kiwanis and its
Service Leadership Programs volunteer more than 21 million hours and invest more than $113
million in their communities around the world.
- Kiwanis is taking itself from
a good organization to a truly great organization that defines excellence for service and
leadership and builds leaders through service opportunities.
- Kiwanis International is the
only service organization that builds leaders at every level—from the youngest
Kiwanis Kids all the way through several youth programs and adult programs. (Kiwanis Family of Programs)
- Kiwanis’ impact on the
world will be measured by the 10 million young leaders it nurtures, rather than by the
number of members it attracts.
- Kiwanis continues its service
emphasis of “Young Children: Priority One,” which focuses on the special needs
of children from prenatal development to age 5. In a typical year, “Young Children:
Priority One” service projects involve more than US$14 million and 1 million
volunteer hours.
- In 1994, Kiwanis launched its
first Worldwide Service Project, a $75 million campaign in partnership with UNICEF to

95 nations. Kiwanis International Foundation has raised nearly $100 million to eliminate
IDD worldwide.
- Kiwanis One Day occurs
annually during the first weekend of April. It is an opportunity to unite
Kiwanis-family members from around the globe and their communities in a dedicated day of
action devoted to hands-on community service projects.
