3 MAY! Isn t it unbelievable that we find ourselves over halfway through this month already?! We ll be voting in our new Executive this month! This time of year tends to get so busy for everyone. There are spring sports for kids (and some adults), wind-ups for other organizations we may belong to, the end of the Kin year, and much more! We are a very busy Kinette Club for the next month, as we hold our annual garage sale, work at the Kids Cancer Care Camp, and run the Chuckwagon Parking. June will be a whirlwind month! Remember through the chaos to always breathe, and never forget to Grow. Learn. Make Friends. Have Fun. Yours in Kin, Krista 3
