Kiwanis visits the food bank


Representatives of 4 clubs are briefed
This past week, our Kiwanis DCM (District Commissioner's Meeting) was held at the All Faiths Food Bank in suburban Sarasota, east of the Interstate off Fruitville Road.  It was called by our incoming Lt. Governor, Jackie Booth (pictured in black skirt in center of picture).
Jackie will officially be Lt. Governor for District 18-North starting on October 1st, and running through September 30, 2013, when I am scheduled to wear that hat.

There are four Kiwanis Clubs in our district, one of the smallest, and the only bifurcated one in the state.  If I'm lucky, they'll redistrict and I won't have a turn in the barrel - ha ha.  Speaking of barrels, the collection barrels for food need help, as you can see the shelves should be full, but they are not.  This is one reason Jackie decided to take the meeting "on the road" to show us where needs exist.  She tells us the next meeting shall be at the Salvation Army in November, very timely as our club starts ringing the bell at the new Publix store on Longboat Key soon thereafter.  Nice job, Jackie - good luck for your year as Lt. Governor.
