Bulletin Board

1. At our 2011 Christmas party, 109 Golden K members and guests enjoyed a delicious meal at the Drake Olmsted Center and were treated to a wonderful musical program featuring vocalist

Carol Palmer accompanied by pianist Jessica Anderson.  The evening ended with an appearance by Santa who sounded strangely similar to our own Bob Smyth.  Thanks to Florence Buhr and

Don Neumann for planning and presenting an outstanding Christmas party.  Also, thanks to all Golden K members that assisted in various areas to help make the party a smooth-running and successful evening for our members and guests.

2.  A new member orientation program is being planned for January 2012.  The specific date and rogram schedule will be announced in early January.  All new club members are invited as well as any "older" members that have in interest in refreshing their memories concerning our club activities and the Kiwanis organization.
