Meeting Date: April 8, 2010
President
Jeanne Smith opened the meeting. Former President Bob
Quinn led us in the Pledge and George Patterson led us with
God Bless America although he mixed up the tune of my Country 'Tis of
Thee with the words for God Bless America! John Walker
led us in prayer. It was good to see everyone on another
beautiful spring day. Bob Gradle was welcomed back from
Florida. Former member Bob Quinn, President of
Rebuilding Together (formerly known as Christmas in April) thanked the
club for our donation and he told us about the home that will be
rehabbed on April 24. Montgomery County has the largest chapter
in the country. They rehab about 100 houses a year and the
county contributes about $250,000 to help. This is the 20th
anniversary of Rebuilding Together and our Kiwanis Club has worked
with them since the beginning. Call Bob at
301-217-6450 or email:
robert.quinn@nmfn.com if you would like to volunteer.

Few days ago, Dr. Jim Leder, President of the Miracle League of Montgomery County
was advised that the combined grant funding from the Maryland
House and senate will be $250,000 for the Miracle League Baseball
project. Senator Rob Garagioia, who was elected to
the Maryland State Senate in 2002 and was re-elected in 2006 was
instrumental in getting approval of the funds for this important
project. He represents District 15 in Montgomery County.
The Kiwanis Club of Bethesda thanks Senator Garagiola for his
support.
Elected Representative

supportive of the funding for the Miracle League. The
Miracle League will soon be a reality with other forthcoming
donations.
