2022-12-19 Circles Muskoka Christmas MeetingPresident Shirley Bullock, President-Elect Kathy Higgins and Director Janice Larade had the pleasure of joining Circles Muskoka at their Christmas Dinner/Meeting. We were able to present a couple of members with Gift Certificates for their children to allow them to shop for themselves. In the past, children have expressed their joy in being able to go shopping, and even buy a gift for Mom/Dad. A lovely group of people that are doing their best to nurture, support, grow and change together.    "Together We Thrive.Circles® Muskoka is a community collaborative committed to the reduction of poverty by harnessing the power of relationship." |

2022-12-15 Christmas 2022 Salvation Army Adopt-a-FamilyEvery year, the Salvation Army Huntsville, takes applications from various individuals and families who are in need of assistance during the Christmas season. In response to their need various persons, organization and companies supply successful applicants with a food hamper. Applicants who have children also receive a toy hamper for each child up to the age of 17 years of age. The Kiwanis Club of Huntsville Muskoka has once again supported the 'Adopt-a-Family' Campaign and provided some items to make their holiday a little less stressful.   Gorgeous handmade Quilts by President Shirley Bullock. Krystal Fuller (L) of Salvation Army, Kiwanis President-elect Kathy Higgins (C) and Kiwanis Secretary/Treasurer Rick Brooks (R) take a minute out to pose next to a dolly full of boxes for 'our family'.

2022-10-21 Ted Barris Lunch & LearnAnother successful event with Ted Barris! The session started with a lovely homemade luncheon by the Ladies Auxiliary at the Royal Canadian Legion 232 - Huntsville. If anyone left hungry, it would have been their own fault. Post feast, Ted captivated the audience with a discussion on his new book Battle of the Atlantic: Gauntlet to Victory. Nothing less than engaging and passionate, Ted held the audience’s attention, while he took his listeners on a trip through Canada’s participation in the Battle of the Atlantic. Upon conclusion, Ted signed books for those that desired. An educated audience left wanting to hear more. If Kiwanis is able to recruit Ted for another session in the future, we will ensure everyone is aware.    |

2022-09-19 Golf Tournament Cancelled 😢Friends of Kiwanis; It is not the news we wanted to share but it is what we need to share, the 4th Annual Kiwanis Golf Tournament of September 19th at North Granite Ridge has been cancelled for this year. There are certainly disappointed people, however the economic climate made it challenging for us and out of respect for our regular sponsors and golfers we were sensitive to their issues with staffing and simply trying to stay afloat, even though some would have made the effort to help, the numbers were not going to make it a meaningful tournament for the course as well as our golfers. We'll be back next year and trust that the economic climate will be in a better place as well. As for this event, those who have actually made payments, your funds will be returned, with our thanks. Tentatively save the date of Monday, September 18, 2023 for the return of Kiwanis to beautiful North Granite Ridge G.C. |
