A Secret You Did Not Know
by Jack White, Chair, Capital District Growth Team

The Growth Team’s much-discussed Grundy CD tells about the spectacular success this Southwest Virginia Kiwanis Club had with its recent Membership Night program. But did you know Grundy tried the same thing two years ago and all but failed. What made the difference the second time? I answer that question in my new Monday Morning Message.

2008 Capital District Convention Aug 14-17, 2008: A "Prescription for Success": Still Time to Sign-Up!
by Dave Martin

The 2008 Capital District Convention will be held this year from Thursday, August 14 through Sunday, August 17th in Richmond Virginia at the Downtown Marriot and the Richmond Convention Center, just a few blocks from the State Capitol. Hosted by the Heart of Virginia Region of the Capital District, this year's theme is "Prescription For Success,” and one of the big highlights-not to be missed-is Friday night's Birthday Party at the Marriott to celebrate the 90th anniversary of the District Convention.

Waldorf Club and Aktion Club Hold Car Wash
by Millie Kriemelmeyer

The Spring Dell Center Aktion Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of Waldorf, held their annual car wash on July 25. For four hours, about a dozen Aktion Club members, their Advisor Candice Ogden, and one Mom, performed cleansing miracles. They used plenty of water and good cleaning compounds, but the main ingredient of success was elbow grease. They scrubbed and rubbed in time with rock and roll from the radio. Customers came from advertising widely by email and signs in the La Plata area and to the three Charles County Kiwanis Clubs. The hard work brought about $150 in donations to the service budget. After the exhausting morning in the heat, the ice cream truck was a welcome sight. Everyone enjoyed the cooling treats, sitting in the shade, basking in another job well done.
