Good Day Everyone,
I have the final tally on the proceeds from the car show this past weekend, and would like to schedule a meeting date to deliver the check to Kiwanis.
The final numbers are:
125 Classic Cars, Trucks, and Special Interst Vehicles in attendance throughout the day. With 50/50 raffle takes, and TOLEDO DOOR AND WINDOW'S "round up" donation, (including Bob Bollin's registration fee of $220 for HIS 22 Vehicles in the show ! LOL) I have a check for $2000.00 to present to the club.
Thank You to all Kiwanis volunteers that came out and helped with the show!
It was a GREAT day with GREAT support from the local Classic Car Owners Community!
Most all Classic Car people are generous and supportive of our show every year.
Let me know what Wednesday Meeting dates you have available for me to deliver the check.
Respectfully Submitted,
Bob

Fellow Kiwanians;
Last Saturday we had the largest Division project ever accomplished. Turnout was tremendous! Everything went better than expected. We had visits from Marcy Kaptur (United States Representative) and Toledo Mayor (Wade Kapszukiewicz) . Volunteers and workmanship from all ages was outstanding. We had a total of 51 members,staff and volunteers.
I'm so proud to be part of this Division on performance for this project. We raised a total of $9000 enough to build 50 beds. We received a grant from the Ohio District Foundation for $1960.00 and the rest all the clubs donated to. I want to acknowledge two clubs for coming up with extra monies days before the event so I could meet my goal of 50 Beds. Downtown Toledo Club, and East Toledo Club. It is my intention to execute this project next if the Presidents vote in favor.
Sincerely Michael Metzger
Lt Governor Division 1 North
Recaps of Kiwanis Club of Toledo doing what it does best - service projects and having fun!

Hi all,
Two events this weekend
#1 - Build a Bed
The First ever Division Project is on track with help from A grant and Monies donated by all the clubs in the Division and Cedar Creek Church we have accumulated over $8000. My goal of 50 beds is a little short we still have 6 weeks before the event to raise more funds to accomplish this goal please see what your clubs can do. Thank you!
Event will be held At Cedar Creek Church on S Byrne Rd on Saturday August 27th at 9am If you want to bring something bring a pair of gloves for yourself everything else will be supplied.
The cost is still $180 per bed with all the linen and supplies. We should be at that location 2-3 hrs and then if anyone would like to assist with transporting the beds and finish assembly at the locations you can certainly volunteer to do that. The final task for all of us is to get the word out I want the whole world knowing about the project in this area. If you have ties with the media,news crews or anyone of high status please get the word out. Please bring all checks to the Division meeting in July made payable to Lets Build Beds.
On behalf of Kiwanis Division 1 North and West Toledo Kiwanis Club I thank you for everything that you do every day.
