Fellow Club Members,

Yesterday at the Kiwanis Hampton Roads Region Mid-Winter Conference we received a coveted Kiwanis International Distinguished Club Award for 2006-2007, joining the Churchland Club as the only other club in our Division 21 to earn such an honor for our collective efforts last year. Our club previously received this award in 1996-1997 and 1998-1999. Great job everyone!

Individually I was honored to receive the Distinguished President pin and former Club Secretary Bill received the Distinguished Secretary pin - Craig and I look forward to sharing this with Bill at the next meeting. The Distinguished Club Award certificate is already framed and on display at Smithfield Station while our Past Presidents plaque is being updated. We also received a nice patch to add to our newest banner and my wife Kim is taking care of this and giving our club banners a little TLC in the process.

Thanks to Craig, Angie, Gloria, Carter and Wesley for attending the conference at ODU yesterday! The last bit of good news from the well attended regional event is that Craig won the top raffle prize - it does pay to play (all for a good cause). See you all Thursday.

Immediate Past Club President Peter

Bravo to a Job well Done!

A Message from our President

Fellow Club Members,

As 2008 gets into full gear, it’s a good time to focus on the direction that our Club is headed with regard to membership and fund raising. 

Our membership continues to be on the rise with the addition of new members and past members who were able to rejoin the Club.  At present we have 62 members, three more than we had on October 1, 2007.  It would be great to see our membership reach 65 by September 30, 2008.   

As an early reminder our big fund raiser, the annual golf tournament is coming up on May 7th.  I can assure you it will be here before you know it.  John Graham will be heading the golf committee for 2008 so any questions or comments should be sent in John’s direction. 

 As our community continues to grow, we have more resources available for our Club to build its fundraising base.  A growing community also means that the needs of the children are on the rise as well.  I’d like everyone to start thinking of people and businesses in our community who would like to play in and/or sponsor our golf tournament.  We need to focus on making our golf tournament a bigger community wide event than it has been in recent years. 

Craig Stallings, Club President


Breakfast with Santa a Huge Success!!


Police Chief Mark Marshall prepared to help Santa negotiate the
Christmas
Parade route through downtown Smithfield.
 

We had another successful year with over 800 attendees.  Santa was also very busy with over 350 little ones on his lap.

A special thank you to the Key Club for their assistance and to Sue for Chairing this event!


 Kiwanis Toy Store makes a difference!

Our Club managed to donate toys and books to over 290 children over the two days we were open!  Club members were most co-operative in so many ways, other than just manning the Store.  Folks helped with sending out donor letters, compiling a data base of recipients, and shopping for the toys and books, as well as sending in many monetary donations.

Kudos to Target and B Dalton bookstore, both in Chesapeake Square Mall, who were wonderful to work with, and extremely helpful. and thanks to Amy and the rest of the staff at the Smithfield Center are also in order.

They provided refreshments, and couldn’t have been more co-operative. A special thank you to Peter for all his hard work, and to Emma, our daughter, who shopped with us, then took her 2 days that she is given each year from her employer, to do community service work, and came to help set up the Toy Store on Monday, and work at it on Tuesday. 

All in all, many hands made lighter work, and I appreciate everyone’s effort. 

Thanks for all you do, Angie - Holiday Toy Store Chair

 Key Club Update    

Our Key Club purchased $150.00 worth of gift cards and gave them to the Wounded Warriors at Ft. Eustis. They are having a USO show and will be giving them away to those in need.

They sent over 50 Christmas cards to the recovering soldiers at Walter Reed Hospital  located in Washington, DC.  and collected canned foods at our little Christmas dinner to be donated to our local Salvation Army.

They also donated $450.00 to the local Unicef.
