• March 8, 2012-Club Excellence Survey Results & New Membership Goals
  Program Speakers: Jean Schult, Bob Voelker, and Dan Holt
  The goal of every Kiwanis club is to make a positive difference in the communities in which they serve.  Of course, in order to be successful in this endeavor, we need to periodically rank the needs versus what the club can do.  The results from our Kiwanis club's most recent survey will be reviewed, and goals will be set for us all to strive to achieve.  In addition, like most Kiwanis clubs, we need to attract more folks to lend a helping hand and ideally join our club.  Ideas will be presented, along with suggestions on how we can work together to make this happen.

  Guest Speaker: Gary Alexander, World Traveler
  It may be hard to believe, but over 20 years have passed since the fall of the Soviet Union.  Although Russia may not necessary be in the headlines as much as it used it, our neighbors to the west of North America have plenty of sights and traditions that they hold on to dearly.  No this won't be an undercover reveal of Russian secrets, but rather a fun look places that you may want visit if you have the opportunity to go to Russia.
