HAPPY NEW YEAR!
New Business: Award: The club received an “Early Bird” patch because Kirkland Kiwanis paid dues fees on time! Anniversary: The club was chartered January 2015, three years ago! Dining: We will be checking with management about ordering food at counter and eating at bowling tables as sports bar is slower, lacks accessible tables, and has television distractions. Next Service Project – In February, it is Presidents’ Day Weekend, so email ideas.
WHAT’S NEXT? 17 FEB 201 (3rd Saturday of Month) 11:45 AM at TechCity Bowl for 1-hour bowling 12:15 to 1:15 PM & lunch meeting 1:30 to 2:15pm at Tech City Café menu. TEXT, EMAIL OR CALL DARCIE BEFORE BOWLING TO RESERVE! THE EARLIER THE BETTER. 2018 Jan
