The Kiwanis Club in Redmond improves the lives of youth and families of Redmond and the surrounding communities through increasing hours of service, dollars of support, and positive role models for the youth and future leaders of the community.
This club runs like a well-oiled machine. They are in the "acquisitive phase" of attracting new members. The membership is city oriented (3 councilmembers, 3 retired coucilmembers, 1 planning commissioner, 4 staff.) I sponsored Mark Stuart, LWSD Director. To become a member, it's best to stop in at the Redmond Pankake House as a guest.
ReplyDeletePresent members are "cream of the crop" within the community. (I'm not sure where or if I fit in.)
"Beat the Bunny" 5K, Derby Days, and "Summer Series" at the Senior Center are key fundraisers.
Support for children is mostly through 1) providing meals at three locations for the underprivileged, 2) support of two high school "Key Clubs."
