Earl Cushing is our Division 3 representative on the Southern Scholarship Foundation Board.
Division 3 had a 100% participation of contributions to the International and District Foundations. Congratulations are in order.

Lt. Governor Fuller asked clubs to consider the following when preparing next year’s budgets: The Hugh O’Brien Leadership Conference for H.S. Sophomores only cost $175 per student, and the Division3, District and International Kiwanis financial obligations for 2002-2003. These were provided to Clubs with a handout. Please note that there will be a dues increase voted on at the August Kiwanis Convention.

The District Board of Directors will discuss the Fishing Village Project of Food for the Poor, Inc. as a possible project for this coming year. Lt. Governor Ben Fuller says that approximately $150 from each Kiwanis Club in Florida will make a major impact in the Jamaican Project. A workshop on the proposed project will be held at the August Convention.
