Prez Says:
Thank you to everyone who either attended or worked at the fundraiser for Ukraine! A special thank you to Past President Rita for working so hard to bring this idea to all 4 Kiwanis Clubs in Rochester, and bringing this plan to fruition! We are thankful also to the VFW for hosting the breakfast and helping those of us who have no restaurant experience to “help” their staff serve, bus tables, greet etc.
Remember that February is a special month. As I recall, February 14 is a wonderful day to remember the people we love! . . . AL
Traditionally Presidents Day was Washington’s birthday.
It was celebrated as a public holiday on February 22 each year, in peace or in war.
