[ 11/12/2008 ] Fall is almost behind us, and the first flakes of snow have made their debut. We all love living in this area, but snow comes too soon, and stays too late! We're well into the new administrative year, and our activities are beginning to unfold. Coming up on December 8th at the Crossroads Restaurant in Middlefield will be our Kiwanis Information Night. All members are asked to invite one guest for this event, which will explain all there is to know about Kiwanis- Service, Fellowship, and supporting Children and Young adults. Poinsettias will also be distributed that night, to be delivered to shut-ins and elderly members of the community.

[ 9/4/2008 ] The Great Geauga County Fair has come and gone, with East Geauga Kiwanis selling over $12,500 of Swiss cheese, Trail bologna, and pulled pork sandwiches. We usually net about $6,000 from this one event to support our slate of service projects. We thank all who volunteered their time and talents to plan, execute and clean up the East Geauga "Cheese Chalet", especially Claire Zurbuch and Don Hunter for orchestrating the smooth operation of the fund-raising event.
