The Board, at yesterdays meeting, agreed to contribute $ 100 to the Back to 
the School project and $ 200 to The Healthy Cedar Valley Coalition.  These 
donations had not been previously budgeted.

Jane requested that when you schedule a speaker you give her the mailing 
address so she can send a Thank You card.

Sue discussed the Kiwanis International Eliminate project that will be  
kicked off next month.  The objective of this project is to eliminate 
maternal  and neonatal tetanus. For more on this go to   

We will no doubt be involved with this project in the coming year(s).

Our greeter next week is Marv Heller and our program will focus on the  
Waterloo Market.
