2. 2013 – 2014 Florida Governor Matthew Cantrell’s “STEPS TO EXCELLENCE” ACTIVITIES INVOCATION TODAY’S SPEAKER Heavenly Father, Let Kiwanis widen our circles of interest and broaden our spheres of service. Teach our members that we need not be rich to be generous, especially with our time: that service to others is the rent we must pay for the space we occupy: and that it is not the talented but the dedicated who serve You best. And now bless this food to our use and us to Your service. Amen Fred “Fel” Lee, Duval County School Board Chair, will speak on the "State of the Duval County Public Schools”. The address will quickly review the past accomplishments and changes to the public school system since the arrival of our new superintendent back in November of 2012. The review will include budget, program and personnel changes, and then Fred will take Q&A for any remainder of the time.

Alison Cacella, and Karl Price bringing in the donations. Great contribution to our community. Our Christmas party is set for Dec. 15, 6 P.M. at our home so get ready for some good food and friendship. Christmas casual for dress. Hope to see you there. It’s time to start selling tickets for our January 29th concert. A great group of local musicians and singers are donating their time. The Community Presbyterian Church is providing the venue, so we simply have to fill the seats. We badly need funds for our service projects! Finally, the Beaches Museum needs their new fence painted, and we need to develop a plan to help with our members and Key Clubbers working. The museum has the paint and plenty of rollers. Merry Christmas to all, and thanks for your giving spirit.
