89TH Annual Kiwanis International Convention - It's
not too early to be thinking about attending the 89th Kiwanis
International Convention in St. Louis on June 26-29, 2004. St.
Louis is close enough to drive. So now is the time to start getting
your car pool together. And you don't want to miss Willie Nelson
performing on Sunday night. Next year the convention will be in
Hawaii. So be thinking about taking that dream vacation then.
