Hello Everyone,
Our speaker tomorrow is Fire Chief David Vega, and Division Chief Shaylee Aurnhammer. In the last 5 years, San Juan County Fire & Rescue has responded to four incidents of people falling in a septic tank, two of those calls resulted in a child’s death. Not everyone uses a septic system, but around 30,000 systems are in use in the county. Our goal is that no more children die in a preventable manner by falling in an unsecured septic tank.
Tomorrow is Chamber Business After Hours immediately following Business to
Business Expo at Civic Center. 4:30 to 6:30 Cost:$5. Kiwanis is a Chamber

Jill received a phone call a few days ago from Jeanette with 4 Corners Foundation. She works with Westmeath and through them we received a check for $2,500 for Clothes for Kids. Then, Jill found out they have again awarded us $3,000. It will be later this year and then we will receive funding. It’s all good and goes a long way to help with Clothes for Kids!
