Lingerie Shopping For the Refuge House By Johnnye
She started with $99, spent $84.22 for $289.54 worth of items using the hefty discounts afforded us by Jim Gooden at Bealls Dept Store.

For Ronald MacDonald House
Tommy Mills and Marvin Doyal picked up and sold 405 pounds of tabs and 5  pounds of Stainless steel for Ronald MacDonald House.  they got a total of  $166.50 and spend 1 and 1/2 hours each on the project.

DeSoto Trail K-Kids Projects
    Science and Technology Expo( April 22nd) as well as "Earth Day" (also April 22nd)
For Earth Day, over the next few weeks,  the students will collect plastic bags (the kind used at department stores and grocery stores) and present them at an "Earth Day" to be held at the Capitol on the morning of April 22nd. 
Secondly, the Council members will help with greeting, enrolling and directing exhibitors to their appropriate places during the Expo.  The Expo will begin at 4PM with the enrolling of exhibitors and the parking of their vehicles (behind the school and we (Kiwanians) will assist in these efforts as needed, particularly with the parking function).  We will also need to help with parking up at the strip mall (near Hancock Bank).   The actual program will begin at 6PM and will end around 8PM.  All the money raised from exhibitors and sponsors is used to keep Desoto Trails Technolgy up to speed.   We can help with the plastic bag project by collecting bags and bringing them to school. John Ryor will try to secure a container like the one at Publix to use at the school so students have a central drop off for the bags they collect.  If anyone is interested in being a judge of the student science projects let John know, They can always use more judges.

HOW TO MAKE UP MISSED MEETINGS TO MAINTAIN YOUR PERFECT ATTENDANCE RECORD
Simply attend a meeting of another club, including AKtion, Key, K-Kids, or another Kiwanis Club, a Division Council meeting, a club project, or a Board meeting.
With all
these possibilities there is little reason not to have perfect attendance.

PERFECT ATTENDANCE AWARDS
Tell Al Eppinger how many years are shown on your current perfect attendance tab, if you have one. Also, tell him how many years you have earned. This includes previous membership in other Kiwanis clubs. This is not for calender years. It is for one year of consecutive  meetings and/or makeups.
