President's Letter

President John HopperHere we are in the first month of 2010. 2009 sure went past in a hurry and if you happened to be a little north of Georgetown, 2009 went out with a flurry (of snow).

I am certain 2010 will pass at least as quickly and I think at least as productively for our Sun City Kiwanis Club as well as the Texas–Oklahoma District and Kiwanis International.

There are two significant events coming up involving the T-O District and Kiwanis International. The first is the Mid–Winter meeting in Irving, TX. Feb. 12 & 13. This is a great opportunity to learn more about the opportunities and activities within the T-O District and gather helpful hints from other Kiwanians. The International Kiwanis Convention will be held in Las Vegas this year, June 24 thru 27. Not only are the Las Vegas attractions beckoning but the T-O District is lending strong support to Randy Delay from the Houston area, who is a candidate for Vice President. He would  assume the Presidency of Kiwanis International in 2011, if elected. Randy is an excellent candidate and is deserving of our support. I encourage you to seriously consider participating in both of these events.

It is not too early to turn our thoughts to the Sun City Spring Garage Sale. Keep your eyes open for those “treasures” that could be put to good use by others, and if you have any left over fondue Pots, they are always welcome. The two yearly Garage Sales here in Sun City give a good boost in our fund raising efforts as we strive to “Change the World One Community and One Child at a Time.” We also combine Service and Fellowship in all of our activities.

While we have just completed a very successful Holiday Home Tour, the time is rapidly approaching to start work on the 2010 HHT. This is a golden opportunity to have a great impact in our fund raising and support for Williamson County children. Let your talents be used in this annual effort.

2010 can be a Banner Year for us all.

John Hopper

Comments from the President-Elect

President-Elect Gayle NobleNow that we all complained so mightily about the record setting hot weather in the summer of ’09, we have now had record-breaking cold weather in January 2010!  What a year!  But, what would we talk about if not for the weather?!?!

January signaled the last meeting of the Holiday Home Tour Committees.  Written and oral reports were submitted by various committee chairs to pass on to future committees.  The net proceeds were over $29,000.  Congratulations to all who worked so hard on this fundraiser!  Now it is February and time to start work on the 2010 Holiday Home Tour.  Any volunteers?

February 2, First Tuesday, is The Caring Place Day.  On the “Always Needed” List are canned meats, canned fruits and condiments – salt, pepper, mustard, ketchup, vinegar, etc.  Be sure to bring in canned goods or money.  The Caring Place has great need for both.

February 2, First Tuesday, is also the day Fish City Grill gives a percentage of its daily income to a Williamson County non-profit.  The recipient for the month of February is Meals On Wheels.  The Kiwanis Club of Sun City has made it a point to support the other service clubs in our area.  We all think that it is the right thing to do.  We all like good food, AND we hope that those clubs will reciprocate when it is our turn for First Tuesday.

You also might want to make reservations to attend the Friends of the Library Author Series February 25 featuring Stephen Harrigan, the author of The Gates of the Alamo, a novel about the siege and fall of the legendary Alamo.  Support of the FOL is another way we can support literacy in our community.

One last reminder about February:  early voting will be from February 16-26.  Primary Election Day is March 2.  Don’t forget to vote!     

February 9 is our quarterly breakfast meeting.  We will be joined by some members of the Richarte Key Club who will give us a report on their attendance at Weekend of a Lifetime (WOAL).  They will also be bringing their famous chocolate strawberries for you to buy for your sweetheart.  What a perfect gift for Valentine’s Day: chocolate and fruit!  Yummmm!  Bring money!

Gayle Noble
