Well, we rang in 2007 with many happy memories of 2006! It has been a great start to our club season with 9 new members joining the Kinsmen Club and 2 new members joining the Kinette Club! Several of our projects have been extremely successful and rewarding including the Santa Claus parade, the sale of Christmas trees, the Food Bank collection, the Variety Show, the charity road toll for Cystic Fibrosis and the Beerfest at the Mad Hatter - just to name a few! We look forward to what 2007 will bring!
