The Kiwanis Club of Swainsboro held its weekly meeting Tuesday night, November 3, at the Franklin Memorial Library at 6:30 p.m. With President Dianna Wedincamp presiding, we had 12 in attendance. Deana Patrick won the pumpkin pie, and Tim Goodman won the Domino’s Pizza.
We participated in the Pre-K Trunk-or-Treat on October 30, and members made popcorn for the Garfield Fall Festival on October 31. The Garfield Fall Festival is famous for the Halloween Hayride through the cemetery. A special thanks to all who helped.
Dianna Wedincamp noted that the Franklin Memorial Library will be providing paint for the Club’s fire hydrant painting which will begin this week. The fire hydrants are part of the “Read Emanuel” Signature Project. Dianna also noted the lights are being installed outside of the library.
Deana Patrick announced we will be helping with the Franklin Memorial Library’s “Breakfast with Santa” on Saturday, December 5, starting at 10 am. We will be selling deer stand raffle tickets to pay for the bikes in our Pre-K Christmas Bike Give-a-Way, and we need to sell all our tickets to pay for the bikes. Deana noted that one of the Bass Pro Shops is going to allow us to set up in their store on November 8 and 14. All tickets must be turned in by December 15. She also noted we will be at the Fulford Center on the Georgia Southern University-East Georgia Campus on Friday, December 18, from 1 to 5 p.m. for the Christmas Pre-K Bike Give-A-Way. A special thanks to Joshua Black of Pro Parts for his support of the raffle.
Tim Goodman gave us a summary of where we are with the MLK Freedom Run on January 18, and that everything is proceeding with a few adjustments.
