MEDILODGE BINGO  Our club will be holding a bingo for the people at Medilodge on Saturday, November 16 at 1:30.  Please bring some items for prizes.  Ideas for prizes include lotion, body poweder, aftershave, knee high socks or nylons, jewelry, perfume, nail polish, stationery, pens, stamps, shower caps, night caps, kleenex, brush, comb, toothbrush, toothpaste, hand cream, deodorant, handkerchiefs, men’s white socks, sports items, stuffed animals, easy to chew fresh fruit, sugarless candy.  You could bring anything that you think someone would enjoy.  Sometimes the residents like to get things to use as gifts for others.  At the end of the bingo, we will provide cookies and juice.  Some of the cookies will have to be sugar free.   We could use help with bringing in prizes, calling the bingo, assisting people during bingo, handing out prizes, and serving the snack.  Hope that you can take time to help.

MEMBERSHIP DRIVE Jason would like to see us divide the city into five groups—four ways from Division and M-19, and Gratiot area.  We will be talking with business and professional people about Kiwanis.  A brochure will be developed for us to use.  If you have contacts in one of the quadrants, please let us know so we can put you in that group.

THOUGHT FOR THE WEEK 

Once you have accepted yourself, it’s so much easier to accept other people and their points of view.                               -Unknown
