Calling ALL Kiwanians! Calling ALL Kiwanians!
Embassy Suites at Kingston Plantation will host the 2008 Carolina Kiwanis MidYear Conference.
We’re looking forward to some shaggin’, shoppin’, sunnin’, and service in February.
We’ve set our sights on a minimum of 400 Kiwanians visiting Myrtle Beach this February.
So, what’s in it for you? Not only will you learn more about the NEW Kiwanis,
you’ll fellowship with your Kiwanis friends across North & South Carolina as well as other visiting Kiwanians.
