Thought for Today

It’s not enough to be busy…. The questions is: What are we busy about?

Relay for Life

The Relay for Life event for Weakley Co. West will be Friday evening June 9, 2006 at the UTM Football Stadium.  The K Family will be sponsoring a team again this year.  Misty Menees has put together an online fundraising page on the WEB.  You may access this site by going to www.wcmt.com and clicking on the Relay for Life icon at the bottom of the page.  On Monday evening, the Kiwanis family team was listed at the #1 team in Fundraising for funds turned in to date. 

PR Class Project

The public relations project between our club and Richard Robinson’s Communications 329 class is progressing.  As you know, most of the students joined us for a club meeting in February or March.  Sue Laskey, Steve Lemond, and David Spencer met the class and presented more information about Kiwanis and answered student questions.  A team of members will judge the presentations at the end of April and the winning team will make their presentation to the club on May 3.
