i T S City Council Meeting Minutes October 26, 1999 • Page 3 1 Club has been active for almost two years. The Kiwanis organization believed participation at 2 the middle-school level was an optimal time to involve youth in service-oriented activities. 3 Mr. Gunderson introduced Ms. Sue Holton, whom he stated is the facility advisor and also the 4 person behind the success of the program. Ms. Holton stated that the Club began with approxi- 5 mately 14 members at the first meeting close to two years ago, and currently there are over 50 6 members in 7'and 8`' grade, and soon the membership will be open to new 6t'graders as well. 7 Ms. Holton reviewed for the Council various projects in which the Club is involved.

In particular, volunteer work is provided for the food shelf, 10 Children's Home Society, and in the past,has been provided for the Iodine Deficiency Disorder 11 program. 12 Ranallo offered that the Council could suggest a project for the Club.
