Building On Up

Another cool July morning!

This morning we welcomed back Dennis from his vacation and pleasantly reminded him to be prepared for the 23rd! We also want to wish D. Fryer a very happy birthday for the 25th!
We welcomed the fabulous Elizabeth Bennett this morning, she brought Stateside wishes and reminded us about the Kiwanis foundation and all its work it does. She also has a 'cause' you can donate to, at par, to help support the Foundation!
Meeting business and updates that were discussed:

• Peter reminded us of the great game between the BC Lions and the Saskatchewan Roughriders
• Soup Kitchen information was circulated
• Memorial for Major Larry Farley will be Sunday August 7 at 2pm at the Salvation Army Church
• September 21 is the next SIGN dinner
• Sheila has Installation and Pig Roast tickets - the challenge is for everyone to bring a friend and grow Kiwanis
• George provided us with an update from the trailer this past weekend! It was a great day from what we hear and the crew did a wonderful job! Thank you everyone for all your hard work!
• Criminal Record checks need to be brought in! Do not forget!

Our program today was from Habitat for Humanity, (for more information closer to home use this link Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley) which has now been allowed to expand to Chilliwack (previous border line was Abbotsford) they are looking forward to working here in Chilliwack and have taken over the old H.Y. Louie building. Their official launch date is in early October, but they are starting their campaign to gather trades, materials, money and volunteers now. They are quite the organization that prides themselves on "Building Homes - Building Hope"!

Next week we have Bowls for Hope as our guests and I hope everyone continues to enjoy July!
See you all soon!
