Kiwanis Service Project This Week
Good Monday morning!
As you know we won’t be meeting at lunch time today - this is March Service Project Week. So, we’ll be gathering on Thursday afternoon, March 25, at 2:15 p.m at Eastway Elementary School at 610 N. Alston Avenue. It’s on the corner at Alston and Taylor Street. Our time packing food into backpacks for the 50 kids who get the packs for the weekend should take no longer than an hour.
If you are going to participate, please arrive at the school just before 2:15. I think the best place to park is on the street in front of the school. Go into the main door of the school and walk past the office into the cafeteria. There will be a volunteer sign-in sheet in the cafeteria. After we set up for packing the backpacks, we will pack them and then deliver them to the classrooms. Putting things away and taking cardboard to the recycling container will take just a few minutes.
I would like to know how many Kiwanians are going to be there. Please let me know if you plan to participate by a reply email.

THANKS!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Ken.

Happy Dollars
Welcome back to Homer — his wife doing well. Yea!
