If you could ask one local person to join our club who would it be?  I am not sure.  Every member I have asked has resigned within two years.  It must be a curse I put on them or something.

KIWANIS ONE DAY

On April 7, 2007 every Kiwanis, Key, Circle K, Builders, K Kids, and Action Club will be doing some form of service. It will be a joint project and we will work with our Service Leadership Clubs to get it accomplished.  It has been suggested that we pick the five spots in Martin that need cleaning up the most and divide into five crews and spiff up our city a bit.    What are Martin’s five trashiest places?
 1. Behind State Farm office in Lindell- parking lot of Cheers 
2.  Field next to new Save-a-lot  3.  ___________  4.   ___________
 5. _______________   (Fill in the blanks and leave on your table.)
