Warren County Club News Though the Warren County
Club is having some difficulties, it is still actively working
in their community. In a recent poll by the McMinnville newspaper,
The Southern Standard, the Warren County Kiwanis Club was voted
the outstanding service club in the county. Our congratulations
go out to the club and we wholeheartedly support your rebuilding
efforts.
Club Elections Most of you should have had your club
elections for next year's officers by now. Be sure to report
that information to District and International by June 1.
Distinguished Clubs The year is roughly two thirds of the way done. How does your club stand in making a goal of being distinguished for the year? It 's not too late. Be sure that your attendance goals are being met, that your service projects are being done and that your training and reports are being done on time. Make it happen.

89TH Annual Kiwanis International Convention It's
not too late to make your plans to attend the 89th Kiwanis International
Convention in St. Louis on June 26-29, 2004. St. Louis is close

So be thinking about taking that dream vacation then.
