SERVICE SHOWCASE

Division 5

On February 3, 2022, the new officers of the Stephen Decatur Middle School Kiwanis Builders Club were installed by sponsoring club Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines-Ocean City President Tim Lund and Kiwanis advisor Sarah Walker. Also, the sponsoring club presented a $500 check to the Builders Club for their use in doing their service projects this school year. Members immediately began working on projects after the installation and check presentation. They’re making Valentines cards for veterans and the nursing home. They are also making a quilt for Showell Elementary student, Lakelyn, who is courageously battling cancer. Her father is a teacher at Stephen Decatur High School. The Builders Club is also making a “Movie Night” basket to be auctioned off at a fundraiser to benefit Lakelyn.

Division 9

On February 22, 2022 at (approximately) 2:22 p.m. ten members of the Kiwanis Aktion Club at Innisfree Village prepared and packed up a marvelous home-cooked dinner for the people staying at the Ronald McDonald House in Charlottesville. This effort was coordinated and led by Innisfree’s amazing activities counselor, Carol Evans. Fifteen individually packed trays of meatloaf, gravy, broccoli, mashed potatoes, and rolls; along with three dozen eggs sourced from their farm, a hundred fresh-baked chocolate chip and blueberry nut cookies; and two bags of apples and oranges were delivered to RMH-Cville by Kiwanis Club of Charlottesville members Jim Hart and Dana Douglas. As you know, families are able to stay at the facility for free while their children are being treated at the University of Virginia Children’s Hospital, one of the nine trauma hospitals supported every year by the Capital District Foundation through the proceeds of Ducky Derby.
