Going virtual did not dampen the enthusiasm of the Kiwanis Club of San Diego on January 18, 2022.  

President Mike Boland rang the bell to begin our virtual luncheon.

Judy Leitner led a moment of gratitude, particularly focused on the events at Congregation Beth Israel earlier this week in Colleyville, Texas.

Some of us sang along, although on mute, to "My Country 'Tis of Thee."

Justin Frisco introduced and welcomed our two speakers from SDSU Athletics - Curt Apsey and Derek Grice.  They updated us on the soon-to-be Snapdragon Stadium.

We also got an update from the MAAC Project.  They received a grant last year from the Kiwanis Club and used it to purchase umbrellas for their outdoor tables -- which are getting a lot of use now, especially as more students are sitting outside.  Thank you to our guests, Elsa Roth and Tommy Ramirez.

Many of our members were very generous with their donations, towards the end of our Zoom meeting, including:

Mike Boland - celebrating a birthday

Jay Jeffcoat - watching the Chargers play in Vegas

Gordon Boerner - recovering from illness

Justin Frisco - happy to be in the Club

Ryan Callan - also happy to be part of Kiwanis

Susan Day - who purchased the items Mike auctioned off from his recent trip to the UK

We hope to see you soon!
