Join Us and Make a Difference!

Happy Friday fellow Kiwanians! After our joint meeting this week with Rotary, we are back to our regular meeting schedule on Monday.

Tarah Sipes and Tanner Osing with the City of Rock Island will be our guest speakers to bring us up to date on economic development in the city. This should be a great program, so we hope you can join us!

There were a few other announcements, so let's make sure you're up to date on everything!

We will be selling peanuts at the Rock Island HyVee on September 26th and 27th, with our AKTION Club. Be looking for signups soon on this. If you can help out for an hour or two, it's appreciated!

With the new school year upon us, Terrific Kids is back and we have added a school! We'll be recognizing students at Frances Willard, Longfellow, the Rock Island Academy, and new this year, Ridgewood Elementary! We'll get a signup sheet posted in future newsletters.

Thanks for everyone for your generous donations to our Bicycle project. We have raised enough funds not only for the Washington Junior High Winning Warriors program, but will be donating 3 bikes each to the Martin Luther King Center, QC AIR, and World Relief!
