That is wonderful! I love the Kiwanis.
If they are truly subscribing to higher values than material, then don't let their professional status put you off. If I were a lawyer and saw bluecollars joining because they wanted to do good in the community, I would be very pleased to have them with me.

Does your chapter sponser a "Student of the Month" program like our local one does?
I don't think so - unless it is something they have let slip by. They do bring in a variety of speakers from youth organizations and schools - sports coaches, teachers, etc. But I have not heard anything about the 'student of the month' program yet. Perhaps I should ask.

The local chapter donated $30,000 to my daughter's school in June so we could build a new playground. We were able to get a grant to match the funds and just last weekend we installed a $65,000 beautiful new playground. The school has a lot of low income families and it would have taken years for us to raise that kind of money.
The club is mainly a lot of seniors but they were digging holes and assembling the structure right along side us 30 and 40 somethings. We would have struggled to get the install done without them, they were a tremendous help.
We love the Kiwanis Club at College Place Elementary, in Lynnwood, Washington. We have a great surprise for them at our ribbon cutting ceremony later in September.

Congratulations, AK-Jeff. This is a fine organization. They certainly have done a lot of good things for my small community. I am not a member but I do attend the annual Pancake Breakfast every year.
Good for you.

Congrats!
The only thing I know about Kiwanas is they set up BBQ stands close by our house. I always buy their BBQ, it's great and I know it goes to charity. Enjoy your new found friends and it's great to help out your community.
