Kiwanis One Day at LKCC

Tuesday, May 8, 2012
Kiwanis One Day - a day when all Kiwanians throughout the world join together and do service projects in their communities.  The official date for this event was Saturday, April 21st but in Canada the weather does not always cooperate with us so many clubs selected a date in May to do their work.  Members of the Kiwanis Club of Sarnia and the Sarnia-Lambton Golden K got together after their meeting on Tuesday to do some "sprucing up" activities at the Lochiel Kiwanis Community Centre.  Many hands make light work.

The key note speaker was US Consul General to Ontario, Mr. Kevin Johnson.  His topic was on Canada-US relationships and how we are on the road to making them better for everyone.  Congratulations to President Martin and his team for hosting such a wonderful event!
