A Kiwanis
Toast - Our own Poet Laureate, Dave Dobson has done it
again. Dave premiered a new song and toast at our
January 5th meeting. It was a hit with everyone.
Thanks Dave.
(to the tune of “I’ve Been Working on the
Railroad”)
1st Verse
We are members of Kiwanis,
Oh so proud to be.
A club where kids depend upon us,
In a country brave and free.
Our joy is found in helping others,
To be the best they can.
So work together member brothers,
Opportunity’s at hand.
2nd Verse
We flip the pancakes and sell peanuts,
Have lots of fish to fry.
Our scholarships we gladly offer,
Encourage them to try.
Key Clubbers are our future leaders,
The K-Kids are the most.
So raise your glasses you Kiwanians,
And let’s propose a toast.
“To Kiwanis!”
