President's Corner
 
Hello, Kiwanians and friends - you have just under one week to sign up for the Kiwanis Cup Golf Tournament. Or buy a Hole Sponsorship - it's a great way to show your company logo to about 75 players next Monday, August 15. It will be held again at the Field Club. It is a scramble and loads of fun, prizes, box lunch, golf and cart and dinner! Shotgun at 12 Noon. Bring out the boss or bring out a client and have a great time at our largest fundraiser of the year to help benefit the children of our local non-profits.
 
Please remember that Katie needs to hear from you about this Friday's meeting. It's a special meeting at the Engagement Center on the UNO Campus. Free parking is right in front of the building and you must rsvp. We will hear from Mark Foxall of the Department of Corrections for Douglas County - bring a friend, too - our club is known for great speakers and this will be another one.
