November 24, 2009

This is my first attempt at writing a weekly newsletter for our Kiwanis Club. I thought it would be a good idea to include the list of upcoming speakers, who's on for lunch duty, events that we are participating in, schedule of bingo, etc. At todays' meeting I was able to get information on some things that are coming up for our Club but I would appreciate it if you could forward me information you would like included so that I can get in the next newsletter. If there is other information you would like included, please let me know.

Bingo
There is no Bingo scheduled for December.

Happy Moments

Keith Christman was happy that Eldon Burk brought him into to Kiwanis a long time ago because he has made many good friends through the club.

John Burke was happy that his daughter and granddaughter (mostly granddaughter) were on their way to spend Thanksgiving with Grandma and Grandpa!

Jim Grady was happy his daughter was home from college and even happier that when she returns there only be 17 days until they are both finished with college!

Holly was happy to be seeing family this Thanksgiving.

Michelle from first Midwest Bank was happy her mom has been cancer free for 10 years.

And Joel was happy (he thinks) to be going to Thanksgiving dinner at his sons house. I guess we will hear next week whether he was really happy or not!



Birthday's and Anniversaries

Just another reason to sing!
Jim Blue has managed to dodge the birthday song since October 12 but we did get to sing to him today!

Guests

Jay, Annetta, Terry and John from the Streamwood Club (which they claim is the best club around) joined us for lunch along with potential new member Heather Wallace.
