"There is no exercise better for the heart than reaching down and lifting people up."
~John Holmes 


This morning we welcomed guest, Don Armstrong from the Salvation Army. He brought us updates from the Food Bank and Christmas hamper drive. We also learned how this year was extremely taxing on volunteers and services with all of the forest fires that blazed across our province. We also learned that they are working on building a new temporary shelter to help those homeless individuals during the winter months. 
The Chilliwack Salvation Army anticipates 1700 hampers will be distributed and the problem is that currently, the shelves are bare. They are trying a new fundraising campaign, and the hope is that we can provide some extra assistance this year in getting those shelves filled. In addition, there will still be the Adopt-A-Family that will happen this year for another 250 families. 
Clearly there is a lot of need in Chilliwack! 
Hopefully, we can put our minds together and help get something organized to relieve the burden a bit.  
Updates from Committees and the Floor:
  • We welcomed Larry, a potential new member and friend of Kiwanis! He is a member of the road warriors and we look forward to his friendship and dedication through this new year.
  • 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. Please let Michelle know if you are attending so we can plan accordingly. 
  • Super Reader - 12 schools involved for this year. Arley is going away on vacation, Doug is looking after it all. Thank you Doug! Also happy to report, left over French shirts are going to make a trip across the pond to Africa and Haiti. 
  • Bahath Centre - Calendars for sale $15 each.
  • Also shared a thank you card we received from the YMCA.
