Join Us and Make a Difference!

Hope everyone is warm and safe on this chilly Friday! We are back on Monday with Dakota Smith from the One Eighty Group as our guest speaker.

This week, we’re excited to kick off an important and meaningful series of programs focused on re-entry, second chances, and the power of community support. These conversations invite us to listen, learn, and better understand how organizations across our region are helping individuals rebuild their lives and strengthen families. I’m grateful for the opportunity to explore these topics together as a club and to reflect on how Kiwanis can continue to support positive change.

We’re also pleased to welcome members of the Davenport Kiwanis Club as our guests on Monday. Interclub gatherings like this are a great reminder that while our clubs may meet in different places, we share the same mission of serving children and communities. I hope you’ll take time to connect, exchange ideas, and enjoy the fellowship that comes with being part of the larger Kiwanis family.

Thank you for your continued commitment to showing up with open hearts and minds.

President Joan
