During a recent presentation by LtC Croot Commandant of the Recruiting Brigade covering NJ and the Philly
area, Kiwanis member Newt Weiss a survivor of the Battle of the Bulge in WWII asks a question.

SFC Louque, the Army Recruiter in the Woodbury office looks on. Col Croot addressed the club about changes in the recruiting strategy for meeting the Armys needs for a technology ladden battlefield of the future. It was clear that this is not your grandfathers army. He laid out a very compelling argument for the benefits of military service to possible recruits and how the highly selective recruiting critera yields only an acceptance of 3 for each 10 applicants.

Our Kiwanis Club has been corresponding with the Kiev, Ukraine Kiwanis Club for a couple years, and the South Jersey Times wrote a story about how the Kiev Club has been helping people affected by the war. Read the March 1, 2015 story here:

Please consider purchasing an Entertainment Book from The Greater Woodbury Kiwanis Club

Everyone loves to get products and services at a discount, especially when you can contribute to community service at the same time. The Kiwanis Club of Greater Woodbury is partnering with Entertainment Books to offer deals both locally and all across the country. No longer limited to just hard-copy coupons, a book purchase enables smart phone users to put an application on their phones to get electronic coupons sorted by proximity to the user’s location as well as type of deal sought. Thus, purchase of a South Jersey (or any other area) book enables the owner to take advantage electronically of offers in other areas across the country as well. Deals include travel-related services such as rental cars, airline tickets, cruises and hotels as well as fine dining, casual restaurants, retail products and services.

Even the books are discounted this year for only $25 per book, which offers potential deals that could save the owner hundreds of dollars or even more. These books make great gifts and can be ordered for many cities around the country from the Woodbury Kiwanis. Local area books (South Jersey and Philadelphia) are available from any Woodbury Kiwanian, or by calling Jim at 703-237-2715. Orders for the 2014 book for other cities (usable immediately) may be placed at any time before the end of November. The effort is part of the Kiwanis annual fund raising program to support a variety of youth and community programs in our area; information about the specific programs is available at www.kiwaniswoodburynj.com.
