Our Community Service Committee members invited guest speakers of their beneficiary agencies to give us a brief synopsis and how our contributions help. Members present today were: Kristi, Sandi, Delores and Mark.
Guest Speakers:
Lori LeOurs - Library Foundation. $200.00 helped with self check-out machine, bookmobile, books and periodicals.
Nancy Keim - Special Olympics. Kiwanis members provide pizza, serve and clean-up at the Pizza in the Park event. 50 athletic participants are involved in this local program with no paid staff.
Cheri Schmidt - YCAP. 2,972 food boxes given out for the quarter. The need is up 600%. They are able to buy $10 - $12 worth of food for every dollar donated. Received a $100 check from Kiwanis.
Richard Day Renolds - Soup Kitchen. $100 will help with their new walk-in refrigerator and parts for 2 freezers. They served over 8,000 meals last year.
Kathleen Robbins-Coleman - Juliettes House. Gift card of $200 and money for a new microvave. Each year 150 kids receive medical assessments. They're looking forward with our help with the Safe Kids Fair, 1st Sat. in April.
Kate Smith - Henderson House. $200 check helps with maintaining the facility and creating a "homey" environment. They have 9 more beds and 3 more bedrooms. 410% increase=more people and staying longer.
ALL agencies are very grateful for our support!
President Linda gave us a financial picture and talked about our different funds. She and the board are pleased that we have invested wisely and our club is fiscally responsible and financially very healthy. After scholarships this year, we should still have $50,000.
RaffleWinner: Mary Stern drew her own number and graciously gave the money back to us for our activities.
Linda Schwichtenberg was recently a BIG WINNER. Out of 1100 names she won a flight back to New York! Her husband has never been there and they are excited to go East and visit a son.
Jim Lockett looked for her after the meeting...............he KNEW exactly why she had won..................he told me she had the longest ticket, because of her last name!
CONGRATULATIONS Linda, hope your husband enjoys the excitement and beauty of N.Y.!
