Gov. Janet paid Division 3 a visit last week! We started off with the Regional meeting in London on April 15th, which followed her attendance at the Eastern Canada Key Club Convention which was also held in London, Ontario April 13-15th. Once in Division 3 it was non-stop driving and fun.
Monday saw us viewing the local projects that the Kiwanis clubs in Sarnia work so hard to maintain and support.

Monday evening saw us in Forest visiting with the members of the Kiwanis Club of Forest. Governor Janet enjoyed a tour of the Kiwanis Kineto Theatre, the second oldest independently operated theatre in Canada. A newly constructed museum room has been created upstairs at the Theatre to showcase the theatre's past history. A new adventure is about to begin for the theatre - they are going DIGITAL as of April 23rd with the installation of new projection equipment that will allow them to continue to present first run movies to the public in Forest and the surrounding area.
