I just added the Chaffee-Sardinia Kiwanis Club to the "Local Resources" list at the suggestion from an individual's email.
Some background, from their web site:
The Club is coming up on its 62nd anniversary, having been chartered in January 1947. With just under 20 active members, they are "the little club that does!" They hold six annual events (Easter Egg hunt, Fire Co. Pancake Breakfast, Halloween Party, Senior Citizen Christmas Dinner, Toys for Tots and Christmas Food Baskets) and several other ongoing projects that support Mercy Flight, Children's Hospital, the Pioneer Association of Churches, and Care Packages to U.S. Troops.
I honestly had no idea the group did so much until I looked through their web site, and I'd encourage everyone to take a few minutes to read their site and reflect on all the good they do.
I'm happy to feature any other local groups in the same way; just email me a link or leave one in the comments.
They had 7 events until the past few years. The one they seem to have dropped is the chicken / or fish fry dinner being sold outside the Community Center on election day. At least when you got done buying the dinner you knew whom to vote for with their advise of course.
ReplyDeleteI find any negative comments made about the C-S Kiwanis offensive. It is a small but dedicated group who work hard to provide our community with good things. I have been to many of their sponsored events and have never had any member of this organization suggest that I vote for a candidate. Thank you to those who work so hard to provide these wonderful things for our community.
ReplyDeleteNever said they didn't work hard for the community - it's just a few of their actions that are questionable. How many of their members are Dem's VS Rep's.?
ReplyDeleteThe comments left @12/17 and @12/21 were very snarky, and who cares if the Kiwanis members are Democrats, Republicans, Greens, Anarchists? Political affiliation doesn't have to flavor (or poison) every charitible act in a town.
