Executive Director of the Tallahassee Symphony Orchestra  Professional performances with a variety of concerts in the area. Highly recommended by many members present. They have an Overture Project to introduce elementary to various instruments and music. Visit their web site for details about performances. Website NOTE: Personal experiences are encouraged for programs. Don't be shy to tell us what you have done in your personal and professional life. It is always very interesting to learn about opur fellow members and frequently very surprising to learn about unexpected talents that we have among us. Wooden Toys For Haitian Children
Norm Mears has jumped in to help Charley with his toy production and he delivered a batch of 36 to Rick Theobald's place of business for the Haiti Relief project. Now they are starting another batch that Norm has arranged to go to
Afganistan.
Charley had stickers - labels printed that now go on the bottom of each toy that says " Complements of
KILLEARN KIWANIS
Tallahassee, Fla." BRING YOUR DUES UP TO DATE Before treasurer Rob Downing leaves next week please bring your dues up to date, so he can go on a trip without worrying about it. Capital City Kiwanis Club Annual Pancake Breakfast Saturday, 13 February, at the Applebee's (1400 Village Square Blvd--off Thomasville Road--in Tallahassee) between 8-10AM. That is the day before Valentine's Day and a great opportunity to treat your sweetheart to a sweet breakfast deal. Cost will be $7 per person and tickets can be purchased from Jim Wylie or any CCKC member or you may pay at the door. The breakfast will include pancakes, scrambled eggs, sausage and beverage. All proceeds will go to support the more than 20 service projects for the needy, underprivileged kids and elderly in the Tallahassee area. Members are all invited, so please come and bring your special Valentine!! President Jim Barger has earned 8 years of perfect attendance. Richard Ziegler presented him with his pin tab. Past Member Remembering Jan Collier, who was a very active member a few years ago has rejoined our club. Jan works with the local animal protection and rescue community on various projects. Young Children Priority One Bob Gragnani has given up his effort of purchasing clothing for infants and young children at TMH which he has headed up for many years (nearly 20). Each year the club budgets funds and Bob has gone out and solicited discounts from cooperative local merchants. Johnnye Luebkemann will take over this function with her highly developed purchasing skills. Donations for Haiti Earthquake Victims Bob Bull reported that ourTallahassee LARC AKtion Club voted to contribute $100.00 to the Haitian Earthquake Relief Effort. These funds will be presented to our club at our next regular meeting on Thursday the 21st of January for passing on for the oversight of our Kiwanian Rick Theobald. It would be nice if the individual membership saw fit to participate as their ability to do so permits. Also, last Thursday an email from the Florida District regarding ways to contribute was forwarded to all members. --- At this meeting we passed the hat and raised $189.00 not counting the $100 from the AKtion Club. Please note the Blue Light Teams listed at the bottom of the green column to the left. President Jim announced these teams and their purposes in his initial meeting back in October.

You can accept cash in lieu of beef. ---- Contact President Bill Fritchman 385-5947, or Sec Keith Roberts 562-2870 MEMBER NOTES JOHNNYE is fighting knee pain with cortizone shots which will hopefully negate the need for a future replacement. Keep our ill and grieving members and families, and travelers in your prayers. 2010 Partners/Sponsors A new fund raising concept above and beyond the Golf Tournament. Instead of just soliciting sponsorships for the golf tournament Al has suggested we solicit Partners/Sponsors for year round support of our Community Service Programs. Partners/Sponsors will get the same recognition as in the golf tournament but, in addition, will be listed on a new page of our web site. The minimum sponsor amount is $150 but more is encouraged. Al has developed a new information sheet to use along with the new Collage that was handed our earlier. If you did not get one contact Al. This week hard copies have been provided to record the sponsorships and in the next week Chuck will email PDF copies to everyone. Members can then file them on their computers and print them as needed. ------- Al has already obtained 5 sponsors using this new method.

Invite potential members to visit us to see what they are missing and earn your full set of keys if they decide to join us. ----- Remember, your invited guest gets breakfast free the first time he/she visits us. Aluminum Tabs and Box Tops for Education Coupons Bring them in for Tommy Mills Many thanks to Marvin Doyal for staying involved with our club projects. ------ Aluminum Cans Remember to bring in your cans for Jim Varley. It would help if you rinse them out. PUBLIC RELATIONS CHAIR NEEDS HELP KATHY COLE is public relations chair and needs your help with articles on our many projects. Give her as many details as possible and she will submit an article. We need to publicize our service as much as possible. It will help with membership growth. ---- Kathy submitted an article about our K-Kids clubs in this month's Killearn Kloverleaf. Are Your Dues Due? Treasurer Bob Downing asks that you check whether or not your records show you are up to date in your dues, and if not, pay them soon. Collect Wire Clothes Hangers This is an on-going Southside Club project to raise funds for their children's projects. Clean out your closets and bring in the hangers. Bring them to the meeting and Chuck Walter will give them to Gavin Boone who will take them to the Southside Club. Thanks to those who have done this. Keep it up.
