Our Club continues to demonstrate why it is Canada's premiere service club and one of the best in Kiwanis International. Our success as a team has been built upon the strength of character of our Club Directors, the Committee Chairs and all individual members. On every occasion the members of this club rose to the challenge laid before them. am pleased to report the following list of our accomplishments: • our membership had a positive increase of 1 member to 251 members. We continue to be Canada's largest Kiwanis Club. • the first Rideau Centre - Kiwanis For Kids Lottery was launched raising more than $15,000 • the Kiwanis Duck Race for Tiny Hearts at CHEO was so successful that we regained first place in the CHEO Telethon Special Events category. • our Club stepped in on short notice to host the Easter Seals Telethon which was held in January 1999. • our partnership with Bon Appetit! Ottawa raised over $50,000 for our club with our own Silent Auction. The efforts of the Club also helped the Bon Hendry Appetit organization raise a record-breaking amount for their cause. DIATE PAST-PRESIDENT • our Golf Committee surpassed the previous year's results with a spectacular tournament. This tournament raises more money in our Region than any other ·PRESIDENTS golf event. RARY SECRETARY • the Ottawa Senators "Partners In Caring" project was another success raising $27,000 and will continue into next year. RARY TREASURER D Wright • in June of 1999 our Club, along with other Kiwanis Clubs in the Region, became a major sponsor of the Canadian Special Olympics 2000 Winter Games. • our Club sponsored Canada's first AKtion Club which began information sessions for prospective members in August of 1999. ISTRATIVE SECRETARY Ita Harper .. .12 nis Theme UILO' "YOUNG CHILDREN: PRIORITY ONE" E 601, 63 SPARKS STREET, OTTAWA, ONTARIO, K1 P 5A6 (613) 233-1900 FAX (613) 233-3718 www.ottawakiwanis.org Page 2 I was pleased to see that as a Club the budget of the Youth & Community Services Committee was increased from the previous year. This reversed a trend which had persisted for a number of years and reflects the improved financial health of the club which has strengthened considerably over the last two years. On a sad note, our Club lost Harry Brown, a 30-year member who was loved by all. Harry Brown was President in 1976-77 and remained an active counsellor to all the Presidents who followed him. His guidance and gentle nature are greatly missed. Of course, Rita Harper continues to demonstrate her calm, common sense approach to the operations of the club. Rita goes far beyond the call of duty and I wish to express my most sincere thanks to her. In closing, it has been a distinct honour to serve as the 82nd President of this remarkable organization. Thank you for letting me have the opportunity. Yours in Kiwanis, Ian W.
