Program: __Board meeting review__

Treasurer’s Report: Administrative account balance: $5277; Service $2851. The Dragon Boat Festival income is $55

Kiwanis Day with the Rays: there is a proposal to get as many Kiwanians as possible to the game some day in June. Hoping for SLP attendance as well. Entrance $23. More info to come.

Dunnellon Aktion Club Christmas party: the members will identify a gift suggestion, Kiwanians will choose one or more persons to buy gifts for. Wrapped is helpful but not essential.

There was significant discussion about 2 proposals – Valentines and Manatee Festival

    1)    Kiwanis Heartfelt Valentines, a dinner for two or more Kiwanians and guests from each Club in the Division. Suggestions are needed for venues in the center of the Division. 

    2)    The Manatee Festival January 19-20. In the past we have cooked and served food. There is a suggestion that we offer a couple of games for children to play. Lecanto Key Club will be asked about assembling vendor booths. (Note: they are excited to do this!) 

    3)    Nancy is working on the Mini Grant Application.

    4)    Become a Sustaining Member. Go to http://floridakiwanisfoundation.org/ , click on Donate Now, enter Kiwanis Club of West Citrus and your information. Click Donate Now and you will be taken to the payment page. (Note that there are a couple of links that do not work. The one I have outlined worked for me today.)

Event notes: Club Christmas Party will be December 20. Wrapped gender neutral gift to share, $10 or so. As in the past, it will be a “Yankee Swap”.

People notes: Gary and Margaret were taking turns caring for a sick Garrett.

No meeting next week. Happy Thanksgiving!
