Welcome to Flight 2021!
Good Morning and welcome to Flight 2021.
 
We are prepared to take off into the New Year. Please make sure your Positive Attitude and Gratitude are secured and locked in the upright position.
All self-destruct devices; pity, anger, selfishness and resentment should be turned off at this time. All negativity, hurt and discouragement should be stowed away.
Should you lose your positive Attitude under pressure during this flight, reach up and pull down a positive thought. Positive thoughts will automatically be activated by Hope. Once your Hope is activated, you can assist other passengers who have no hope.
 
There will BE NO BAGGAGE allowed on this flight.
Our Captain has cleared us for take-off. Destination – GREATNESS!
 
Wishing you a New Year filled with new HOPE, new JOY and new BEGINNINGS!

KCA Communications and Bulletins - We Want to Talk to You!
Are you having trouble receiving the KCA Bulletins and other email communications?  It appears that computer systems/servers who use Symantec are having trouble getting communications from our ClubRunner system delivered to their inboxes.  While we work on this issue with ClubRunner, I have an email list serve set up through Outlook to send the bulletins out each week to those who need it.  And if you are  having trouble receiving your quarterly bills, I can send them to you through QuickBooks.  Just email me at KiwanisClubAtlanta@gmail.com and I will add you to the list!
