KCOT installation banquet Monday ushers in leadership changes Oct. 1
The tables may just about be set and the speeches written, and Kiwanians and spouses will be headed this Monday night to Heidi's Catering banquet room in Tempe for the 57th annual KCOT Induction and Awards Banquet. On Thursday, Linda Spears circulated the clipboard one last time, and a list was sent via email on kcot@yahoogroups.com with the names for people to confirm or change. Linda said if people's names remained on the list but people fail to show up Monday night, they WILL be billed $40 per person. One more time on directions. It will be at Heidi's, 2095 W. 15th St., Tempe. Go west on Broadway Road to 52nd Street, then north to 15th Street, and then left (west) to Heidi's. Cocktail hour begins at 6 p.m., with the dinner at 7 p.m. and the program to follow. It's the Club's grandest night of the year when we change Club leadership from Mark Richwine to Mike Cryer. Outgoing Lieutenant Governor West McLean and new Lt. Gov. Ray Devine will be there for installing officers and board members. Kiwanian of the Year and George F. Hixson Award winners will be announced, and Mark will review the year and Mike will announce his year's theme and where he wants to take the Club in 2008-2009. We will publish a full report of the night's events in next week's Bulletin.

DUES COMING DUE:
KCOT Treasurer Bill Wagner announced that he is about to mail out the quarterly billings.He told members that some are in arrears on their regular dues and meals, and he strongly urged everyone to take care of those. We remind everyone that one can pay via PayPal by going to kcot.org and to the PayPal box on the bottom left side of the home page. "Pay for your member fees on line." Or you can pay by check, as in the past.

READ TO EXCEED LOOKING FOR MORE VOLUNTEERS
Robert Kizere first announced that he has revamped the Club's new member form and urged members to take copies to use to recruit new Kiwanians. It is easier to read. Robert then said the Read to Exceed project is going for the fall. He said is now filling the November and December slots for volunteers. He said the dates at Curry Elementary School are largely filled, and he is signing up people for the Westside Multigenerational and Northside Multigenerational community center.
