March is around the corner, and so is our next meeting! It's also time for our annual Rose Day sales! Please help out the club by purchasing a dozen roses for your loved ones, selling to colleagues and friends, or sponsoring roses so that seniors in our Rock Island retirement homes will receive a lovely bouquet courtesy of Kiwanis! Only $20 a dozen and the funds help us fund our grants and scholarships! CLICK HERE for a form you can forward along in your email!

Now on to the rest of the news this week!

"This past week’s meeting was filled with energy, inspiration, and connection as we welcomed members of the Bettendorf Kiwanis for a wonderful inter-club gathering. It’s always a great reminder that while our clubs may meet in different places, we share the same mission and passion for service. We were also delighted to hear from Allan Ross, who spoke about the powerful Violins of Hope exhibit and the meaningful musical performances connected to it. The history, artistry, and message behind this project left a lasting impression and reminded us of the unique ways music and storytelling can educate, heal, and unite communities.

"We also enjoyed hearing an update from Daryl on his Broadway House renovations. It’s exciting to see progress being made and to learn more about his passion for old home renovation. Moments like these, when we come together to learn about the work happening around us, truly highlight the strength of local collaboration and shared vision.

"Looking ahead, we’re excited to welcome our next program featuring updates from Friendship Manor. I hope you’ll make plans to join us for what promises to be another engaging and informative meeting. Thank you for continuing to show up, stay connected, and help us strengthen our community together."

Sincerely,

President Joan
