A NEW CHALLENGEDan Carmany threw out a challenge that he would match the first 200 lbs donated.

That goal has been more than reached. So now let us challenge ourselves to

more than match the combined total of 400 pounds donated by coming up with

another 400 pounds in donations. If every member's family would contribute 5 pounds of food or toiletries here at the club we would more than reach this goal.

"JUST DO IT"

if you haven't paid please do so now.

Tootsie Roll Final ReportThanks again to all that helped with the

Drive. WE had less K of C volunteers this year and it showed. We are down about 1000 dollars from last year and it was

because we didn't have the volunteers to man the store fronts. We finished with $9506.50. The Report to the State has been sent and we are still waiting on

requests from a few of the organizations. As soon as I think we have received all the

requests we will put together a donation list. And send our requests to the state for

them to make out the checks.
