How to Create a New Post
Hello Fellow Kiwanians (it that spelled right?) I found a way to create a new post. Look at the upper right hand corner of the blog. Do you see "New Post" in the corner? That's what I clicked on to create this. See if you can do it! Maybe it's just for me, since I was the creator of the blog. Otherwise, or nonetheless, reply and leave a comment on this thread. Together we will figure this out! :-)

Creating a blog for the Ironwood Kiwanis Club
Welcome! You have ventured out into cyberspace and low and behold, found the Ironwood Kiwanis Club's new blog spot! I welcome you to share ideas, use this forum as a method of staying in touch with the club. The goal is to increase communication to those of us who are busy people, may not have time to come to a meeting, but yet want to contribute to the community by being involved with our club & it's mission.
When I joined a 1 1/2 years ago, I joined because this club supports the youth of the area. There are many things that we do that I am proud of. Coming up soon is Santa's Workshop, where we set up at the memorial building and have a walk through store. Here you will find many donated toys, clothes & blankets are given to our community's residents that are struggling financially. The Kiwanis Peanut Drive took place the end of August. We raised about $4,000 that goes back into our community to fund grants & scholarships. Soon we will have another nut sale; deluxe nuts, cashews, bridge mix, pistachios will be for sale. Again, proceeds will go back into the community. These items make good xmas gifts! In the spring we will have our Annual Pancake Feed, where you find members skillfully flipping pancakes, wiping tables, and waiting tables! Such fun!
I am President Elect, so I am helping out our President, Kevin Nyquist, have a succesful year. I thought we'd try out this blog spot for members. Consider it a work in process. We'll see if we can have this catch on! How do you like this new method of communicating?

Santa's Workshop
My calendar shows that Tues, Dec 9th, as a Santa's workshop day. Is this the day for set up? What can members do to help & be involved?
