Kiwanis Regional Conference
Lambuth University
Jackson, TN
This is the former Mid-Winter meeting that only a few of us ever got to attend. They were usually in Louisiana! Now, its just a one-day event.  Only $30 registration.  And right down the road.  Let’s all put this on our calendar and make a strong showing for our club.

LA-MISS-TENN Kiwanis Update
You Kiwanis district is hard at work with many projects including the 1-2-3 You Hold The Key Growth Initiative.  Growth for all clubs is not an option, is pretty much mandatory if we plan to exist 10 years from now. 
--AED project is off and running.  A DVD will be shown to all clubs in the near future to answer many of the questions most Kiwanians have about placing AED’s in our schools.  You can also learn more at the Regional Meeting in February. --The LA-Miss-Tenn district is also working on a Disaster Response plan should another disaster strike our region.  It would be a way to communicate so that we could find out that we (Kiwanis members) are all OK and where help is needed.  This is in response to Katrina where we lost a great many of our Southern LA & Miss clubs.  Some members have never been located.

Linda Shields Update
Linda got a good doctor's report on Monday. Her cancer was stage one, they feel that they have gotten it all, so she won't have to have any treatment. She will just have to go every 4 months for testing to make sure everything is okay.
