Staying Flexible In times of COVID-19, Kiwanis Club of Roanoke (top) held their installation of officers outside adjacent to the new Kiwanis playground. Speakers had to compete with the excitement and joy coming from the playground! Due to COVID-19, the Kiwanis Club of Christiansburg’s was required to shut down their weekly meetings through April 2020, at which time, meetings resumed at the picnic shelter at Kiwanis Park where social distancing could be practiced and masks were required. LTG Bob Lewit installed the club’s first female president, Kelley Olson (bottom), along with the club’s officers during their outdoor annual meeting.
The Kiwanis Club of Ellicott City has been passionate in its support for Howard County students since the club was chartered in 1940. Members of the club provide extensive support for students through multiple commitments, including sponsorship of Key Clubs at Atholton, Centennial, Glenelg, Marriotts Ridge, Mt. Hebron and River Hill high schools, through which hundreds of student participants contribute many hours of service to the community each year. Additionally, the Kiwanis Club sponsors the Backpacks for Break service initiative with Cradlerock Elementary School and Lake Elkhorn Middle School, as well as a Terrific Kids recognition program at Bryant Woods Elementary School.
