Back to School, Bingo and Golf are featured this month for Kiwanis.

With the school year it�s time for us to support the Key club of Proctor High School.  We look forward to another year of interacting with the future Kiwanis members.  This year we also have two Circle K Clubs, one from Utica College and a new club at MVCC.

Bingo at St Luke�s will start again on the 21st, so mark your calendars now and make plans to help out.

The featured event of the month is the 18^th Annual Kiwanis Club of Utica Golf Tournament on October 1st.   This year we are returning to Hidden Valley Golf Club, the BBQ steak dinner, prizes and having the Women�s Hockey team from Utica College assisting.  Members will be getting 50/50 tickets to sell as well as requests for golfers, prizes and ads.  This is a big fund raiser for our youth programs. We look forward to your participation and support. Contact Jim Hamer at (315) 732-6531.

August was fun.  We had our annual Utica Zoo outing with attendance of 30 members and families of the YWCA.  The kids and families really had fun.  Many thanks to Dave Cocomazzi for the great food and getting this together again.

Dues statements have been sent out.  Please return them with your dues as soon as possible as we have to update the membership list to Kiwanis by the middle of September.
