Incoming President Susan Day rang the bell to open the first meeting of the new Kiwanis year. And, we were all excited to be at a brand-new location downtown at UCSD Park & Market.
After leading the Pledge of Allegiance, Susan welcomed our guests Evan Kay, Kurt Cecconi and Mark Neville. Mark gave an inpromptu update of the Holiday Bowl.
