Service-Breakfast with Santa is Dec 10. Rachel sent a list to Kim to let everyone know where we are so far. We could use a volunteer or two to bake some of the cookies. MS Holiday Party is Dec. 15. We will need a good number of volunteers, some to set up and prep starting at 2pm and others to assist those with getting their food and cleaning up.
Bill Grant will lead this once again.

Today's program: Florida Kiwanis District

 We were so fortunate to have Gvernor Gary Frechette with us today! He's a member of the N. Palm Beach club and has been with Kiwanis over 30 years. His topic today was on the "I" Plan as branded by Kiwanis International. Inspiration; why did I join Kiwanis and why did I stay?, Impact; something during your time with Kiwanis will significantly impact you. Image; we (Kiwanis) are good, we are special, let's brag on us and get the word out. We can do better! Investment; what are we doing to get our best "bang for the buck." Governor Gary shared with us his 5 rules of happiness--Free your heart from hatred, free your mind from worries, live simply, give more, expect less. He also encouraged every member to bring in 1 new member. Contact Gary by email
