Hello Everyone,

Dr. Sugar Singleton was last week’s speaker and what a wonderful presentation, learning quite a bit about her path to becoming a doctor and about her business, SkinsationMD.

Dr. Sugar sent a nice thank you after the meeting…

Please express my sincerest thanks and gratitude to the Kiwanis Club of Farmington for inviting me to be your guest speaker today!

It was truly a pleasure to spend some time with such a wonderful group of community-minded leaders and to share my vision for total wellness, prevention, and helping people live healthier, more vibrant lives.

Most of all, I loved sharing our mutual passion for serving the community we are so fortunate to call home. Thank you for the warm welcome, the wonderful conversation, and all that you continue to do for Farmington!

—Dr. Sugar

We were proud to induct Sue Burns as a new Club member at last week’s meeting.  She had been a Secretary at Apache Elementary and saw some of the great services Kiwanis provided to the kids in our community.
