To My Fellow Kiwanis Leaders, Hello Suns! I hope you all are having a relaxing vacation with lots of new memories. I also hope that you plan to volunteer! It's summer time and this is the season where suns shine the brightest! There are many volunteering opportunities over the summer so if you're bored and have nothing to do, sign up for an event and take a few hours out of your day to volunteer with friends! �� As this is the August Newsletter, you can expect to find the August calendar, upcoming events, and articles to recap June. See you next time, Suns! Yours in caring service, Vivian Bui Division 30 South Lieutenant Governor 4
