Prez Says Farewell:

We want to thank retiring board members, Arlen Books, Jeanne Logelin, and Jon Logelin for their service to the Golden K Kiwanis over the past 2 years.
Welcome to new board members, Lois Brooks, Jerry Stoflet, and Paul Vermeersch. I know the continuing board members will continue to do the awesome job they have done in the past.
I must especially thank Rita McCoy for covering for me during my leave of absence.

Every member is important to the Golden K and I appreciate all of you! Thanks again for a very good year!

  • Christmas Party is for planned for December 11,2024 at the VFW for 2024. More detail will be coming as things firm up.
  • Peanut Days was September 6th and 7th this year at the three HyVee stores and was a big success. For more details, see below.
  • Reminder the Kiwanis International dues have increased $25/year. Our club will subsidize part of this increase, therefore our member dues will only increase by $20 per year or $5 per quarter. So starting October 2024 regular members will pay $160 and spouses $120 per year.
  • Food for Kidz news – The Stewartville Community Center is for sale so new location may be needed for future events. So stay tuned for any updates.

Peanut Days

Our major fund raiser for the year was a huge success again this year. Members staffed three HyVee stores on Friday and Saturday, giving away peanuts and collecting donations.

Gross receipts for the two days were $5338.77. After paying expenses (primarily cost of peanuts) we netted $4737.11.

Winning the traveling trophy for most money collected was the team of Arlen Books and Jim Ertelt. Congratulations, and a big thank you to all our members for their help in this important source of funds to our club.
