Well here we go!
Another awesome Kiwanis year has begun and I am excited to be leading us again this year! This year's Board has some new ideas and we are so lucky to be the home club of our Lt. Governor, it is bound to be a wonderful adventure filled year!
At the meeting this morning we also welcomed back Mike from ICBC. It is always nice to get updates from ICBC, especially with Operation Red Nose starting to gear up for the 2017 campaign. We got some insight into the lack of policing and the effects of an increased speed limit on Highway 1. Ironically, he noted that with all the road construction that has been occurring in the Lower Mainland accidents and deaths due to speed are all down. However, fraud has gone up, way up. All increasing our premiums of course!

Updates from Committees and the Floor:

• Operation Red Nose - a new to us weekend has been added, we are adjusting our calendars appropriately.
• Awards Night is October 12 at the Cheam Golf Course. $30 per person at the door or in advance to Michelle 5:30 Mingler, 6:15pm Dinner.
• Super Reader - 12 schools involved for this year.
• Bahath Centre - Calendars for sale $15 each.
• Lt.G - All Installations are done, a huge Thank you to Pat who attended 8/9 with Dennis!

We wrapped the whole thing up with a round of Happy Bucks! Make it a great week and Happy Thanksgiving!
Michelle
