The meeting was called to order by President Pam Nolan.  Pledge of Allegiance was led by George Felix and Lynn Fonfara gave the invocation.  Kiwanis mission was recited.  Members attending were:  Pam Nolan, Barbara Rollison, Peg and Jim Morton,  Lt.

Program:  George Rusaw from Habitat for Humanity spoke about the Habitat organization.  In Citrus County they have provided homes for 175 families.  Families must qualify and give 500 hours of service in the building of the home.  The Habitat organization is basically 4 businesses:  real estate, mortgage, building and the Restore.

Properties are generally donated for the homes and there are certain floor plans available.  Go visit the Restore to help them out!
