For five of the past six years the Kiwanis Club of Jackson has sponsored a community dinner at Ocean County Library's Lakewood branch. I wanted to
share some of the reactions from Wednesday’s dinner.
"What a great success!
Nights like that remind us why we do this and why it is great to be part
of the Kiwanis Club of Jackson. Our guest were wonderful and very thankful.
Special thanks to our two key clubs who came out in force and made the
night special. We look forward to working with our two great Key Clubs
throughout the year. Too many people to thank personally in this email,
many who were there and some who worked behind the scene, but that is a good
problem to have! Maybe we can do a dinner in the spring as well?
Great job everyone" Fran
I wrote the following to
Cathi Sheridan, Ocean County Library’s Lakewood branch manager: "I wanted to say thank
you from the Kiwanis Club of Jackson for allowing us to hold our annual
community dinner at the Lakewood branch last night. 10 of our member and
21 students from the youth programs we sponsor were able to feed 147 men, women
and children (the youngest this year was four-years old) a warm meal. I don’t
know who received more from the dinner, the people we served or us who are
privileged to help out."

replied: "Thanks for continuing to have your Community Dinners in Lakewood.
Please forward my gratitude to the Kiwanis Club of Jackson as well.
Community members starting asking if you all were hosting the dinner again this
year weeks ago. They really look forward to it."
Thank you
for all who helped out and donated items for the dinner: Fran & Ed, Fran
Diane, Lou & Claire, Bernadette, Ralph, Robin & Mateo, Dan,
Colleen, Pam, Glenn, Matt, & Larry.
11 Key Clubber from Memorial and 9 from Liberty, and 1 member from the Goetz
Builders Club were a great help!
And a big thanks to Jo & George. Their turkey soup will once again be the talk of the town this year. What a great soup! It was so popular.
And like ever year we seem to have just enough. It was a blessing for us to help out.
