Closing out One Chapter and Opening Another What an exciting year it has been for me to lead our great Kiwanis Club! Thank you for the opportunity to Learn, Serve, and Connect with each of you on so many levels. Together we made progress towards the achieve-ment of goals outlined on our Strategy Plan. The speak-ers were awesome and provided insightful information as they informed us of the political climate we face, facts related to the landscape of our great city, updates from businesses that call Metro Atlanta their home, and more over the little known facts that just added value to our information bank. We grew in numbers by adding new members that will certainly enrich our club. Our service to the children in this community was in the forefront of all that we did. We demonstrated that We loved Kiwanis and We Lived it!
