CROCKETT’S—OUR MEETING is located at 8826 Gratiot in Columbus Township north of
Richmond. The buffalo burgers have been a big hit. Their menu and specials have
been good. Hope that you will join us there soon.
ENTERTAINMENT BOOKS Our current fundraiser is selling entertainment books. They
are $30 each. Jason has them at Verlinde Insurance. Please give him all funds
and make sure that you do not give books to anyone else. All trades will take
place in Jason’s office for better inventory control.

children’s hospitals project.
DISTRICT CONVENTION Sharon and Lisa attended the convention on August 17. Lisa
went to workshops dealing with K-Kids. Sharon attended fundraising and small
club building. We found there was a nice group of people in every workshop we
attended. If you get a chance to attend a Kiwanis workshop, we hope that you
will.
K-KIDS The program is in the planning stages with Lisa as our Kiwanis contact.
We have talked with the principal at Will L. Lee Elementary School. On Friday,
Linda Sprau agreed to be our staff contact. She is Greg’s wife. He used to be in
our club prior to their move. Now we are ready to proceed with the next steps.
Stay tuned to our progress.
OBJECTIVES OF K-KIDS
· To provide opportunities for working together in service to school and
community
· To develop leadership potential
· To foster the development of strong moral character
· To encourage loyalty to school, community and nation
OFFICER INSTALLATION Gerry Tretheway, our new lieutenant governor will be with
us on September 26 to install the new officers. If you are an officer or on the

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK
Think of at least one small pursuit that makes you smile, lightens your load,
refreshes your spirit. Why not do it today? -Thomas Kinkade
