Board Meetings 3rd Friday of the Month 9:30 AM January Meeting: 1/20 Turkey Creek Golf Club 1525 Highway 193 Lincoln, CA 95648 2016-2017 Officers President: Beth Roberts Vice President: Lou Hill President-Elec: Mary Luciano Secretary: Judy Gho Treasurer: Bec Cannistraci 2016-2017 Directors Rae Cook John Gho John Moran Mary Taverna Edy Ternullo Karen Thompson Message From The President As the new year starts, I'm excited about all that we will do this year. The first big event on the calendar is our Valentine's Day Dinner/Dance. As you probably know (if you know me well) I really don't like selling tickets - to anything... But, as I've described the event to my friends there is a lot of excitement and interest. I even had one friend who will be out of town ask if she could bid on some of our auction prizes if she wasn't there... I really think we have a winner with this concept. I'm excited about our partnership with Lincoln Police Activities League (PAL). Through this partnership I believe we will not only have more opportunities to earn money, but will be able to help kids in new and fun ways. At the Inter-Club this week we visited the Lincoln Kiwanis Club. They were extremely welcoming, and I'm hoping that over this year we will be able to forge a partnership with this club to really broaden our ability to help in the community. And last but certainly not least, I'm excited to become a grandmother for the first time. I am heading off to Boston next week to be with my daughter and will be back mid-february. I will send pictures and of course bore you with all the stories when I return. Finally, I hope you all had a wonderful Holiday and New Year. See you soon. Beth KCOLF News Editor Mary Luciano

January 2016 Page 3 K-Kids and Kiwanis Club of Lincoln Foothills Share the Holiday Spirit! Contributed by Mary Luciano K-Kids were busy in the month of December preparing the Holiday Gifts for their teachers and parents. Kids and the Kiwanis of Lincoln Foothills put together ingredients to make a Christmas Cookie recipe. Once the individual bags of ingredients were measured and wrapped, our K-Kids began assembling the ingredients for the cookie recipe. Cookie ingredients and the recipe were placed in bags that had been decorated by the kids. Bags were labeled and distributed to faculty members and taken home to families. K-Kids were excited to hear from families who made the Cookie Recipe. A note was placed in each bag encouraging receivers to make the cookies as a family project.

January 2017 Page 7 April 1, 2017 Kiwanis One Day has become one of the most important days on the Kiwanis calendar. That is because, worldwide, Kiwanis clubs are showing off their best service work. What is Kiwanis One Day? It s a day of service not fundraising or socializing. The more hands we have helping, the more lives we will touch. Any project, big or small, is worth tackling. Projects include anything from building playgrounds to volunteering at a shelter to stocking shelves at a food pantry. Kiwanis One Day Projects Should: Be hands-on. Make a noticeable difference in your community. Involve a majority of your club s membership, prospective members and their families, as well as sponsored CKI, Key Club, Builders and K-Kids Clubs. Make an impact in your community that deserves news media coverage. Raise awareness about your club and Kiwanis International. Choose your service project and join Kiwanians worldwide for Kiwanis One Day, don t miss out on being a part of this day of global community service. Kiwanians will give more than one million volunteer hours on this special day to improve their communities and the lives of children in countless nations.
