Chili Golf Classic
The Winter Golf Outing has been successful for the past 24 years. The funds
raised though these activities have helped to extend our Shoe and Boots
Program to include special shoes for the physically handicapped children.
The 25th annual Winter Golf Outing will be held on sometime in January or
February, 2011, at Hankerd Hills Golf Course. You don't need snow to
have a good time.

Flag Project
A new project for 2007. In 2010 the Kiwanis Club of Jackson
will plant over 700 flags in and around Jackson. The Club will line your street on the five major flag-waving holidays each year.
When you sign up for our flag program, the Kiwanis Club will insert a PVC
plastic sleeve with a cap in the ground near your front curb. On each of
the five holidays, we will set a 3' x 5' flag on a 10' pole in the sleeve.
The flag remains the property of the Kiwanis Club. We will set out the
flag, pick it up, and store it for you. You get to enjoy being part of a
neighborhood filled with patriotic color.
Participation costs only $30 per year. For
more information, please call Connie Murray at 787-2980.
Newspaper Sale
It is difficult to identify who established the yearly newspaper sale.
The original few men who were responsible for the formation of the club
also held the first sale in 1917. This sale has been the strongest of
the many fund raising activities of the club. Each year, for 85 years,
those members who could shivered their way to successful drives. Look
for the Kiwanians in December.
