It's late on Friday, and I almost forgot to send out this week's newsletter! We are back on Monday for our regular meeting, with Connie Dudgeon from the American Red Cross of the QC and Northwest IL as our guest speaker. Hope you can join us!

Now on to this week's message!

"As we continue making our way through the final stretch of summer, it’s hard to believe how quickly this Kiwanis year is moving! Our club continues to find ways to Invite, Inform, Inspire, and Impact, and I’m excited about some new opportunities to connect with one another as we head into the fall.

"One of those opportunities is something a little different! Mark your calendar for Monday, August 31st at 8:00 a.m. for a Kiwanis Coffee Meetup at the ARC of the Quad Cities. Since August has a fifth Monday and we won’t have our traditional noon meeting, we thought we’d try something new and create an informal opportunity for members to grab a cup of coffee, visit, and connect.

"No formal program; just good conversation and fellowship. We hope you’ll join us and help us make this first coffee meetup a success!

"Thank you for continuing to bring your energy, ideas, and enthusiasm to Rock Island Kiwanis. As we look toward a new Kiwanis year, I’m excited about what we can continue to accomplish together and, just as importantly, how much fun we can have along the way!"

Sincerely,
President Joan
