A message from 2015-2016 Governor Jackie Sue McFarlin

Woohoo! I Love Kiwanis!

Conferences are officially underway and I’m proud of Team IMPACT (your team of Lt. Governors) taking the helm of the agenda this year and making the event more locally focused.

The Region 5 conference shed light on a fabulous Builders Club in Wilsonville, Oregon. Our lunchtime dessert was served by JR Scoop, which is an entrepreneurial group of middle school students who became Wilsonville’s first Builder’s Club. After serving up delicious ice cream to the conference attendees, they shared with us the success of their business and how much they have donated into their own community. You can view their information at www.jr-scoop. squarespace.com. Wow!! We all are extremely proud of our Service Leadership Programs.

In February Circle K held their District Convention in Hood River recently and performed two service projects in pouring rain! Governor-Elect Ron Myers and I braved the elements with them and had a blast! Congratulations to Hakikat Bains of University of Washington for being elected their next CKI Governor!

The Mid-Winter Conference took place at the end of February and I greatly appreciate everyone who attended. The weekend was focused on strengthening our clubs and retaining membership.

Without this essential element, we cannot succeed. The attendees participated in a member satisfaction survey event and then worked thru the results of the survey of how to improve our ‘mock club – Awesome Sauce Kiwanis Club of Nowhere, USA’. The survey unveiled a plethora of issues, even from members across our District, but I imagine their results may very well be similar to any clubs - improved communication, member fulfillment, and relevant community impact.

When was the last time your club performed a member satisfaction survey and worked thru the results it yielded?

PNW Key Club held their District Convention a few weekends ago in Seattle. There were over 2,000 Key Clubbers in attendance and the energy was sizzling thru the convention center.

Congratulations to Juliet Yu from Auburn Riverside for being elected their next Governor!

International Convention is coming soon and we are working on a District shirt for us all to wear…more information coming soon! Then, District Convention and the K-Awards. Have you sent in your nominations yet? See more information on the K-Awards on pages 20-21. Fill my inbox with your nominations! I look forward to highlighting the service of our clubs and members.

Thank you for your service, and thank you for being Kiwanians!

Jackie Sue McFarlin Governor

Can a Club Counselor help your club?

Does your club need a little help to become a stronger presence in your community? Every Community needs a Kiwanis Club and every club needs Kiwanians. Does your club inspire others to join it or is it a struggle to attract new people to your club? The questions you need to ask first are: 1) is your club making an impactful difference in your community, and 2) are you losing members, even if only a couple each year, and not sure why you are losing them?

A trained person outside of your club may be able to help you get through the issues you face.

Club Counselors can be a fabulous resource for existing Kiwanis clubs. A counselor could be a mentor: who shares best practices, helps direct your club to available resources; and help you instill healthy habits that make your club strong, self-sufficient and purposeful.

Whether it is recommending a more improved new member orientation, member satisfaction survey, or community needs analysis, a club counselor can be the ‘neutral third party’ to listen, and give advice on what a club’s leadership team can do next to improve the health of their club.

This is a resource available to you within your Division. It is free and the individuals have been trained to help clubs that need help. Give us a call, so we can help you become a stronger presence in your community.

Future Planning As Regional Conferences are commencing, two areas need to be addressed: CLE Training (Club Leadership Education) and Succession Planning. Succession Planning is essential to stability in leadership positions, along with adequate and meaningful training which is paramount to identifying leaders of tomorrow.

CLE Training, over the past few years, has seen attendance become smaller and smaller. Complaints have focused on two areas: it is the same training year after year and there is little information for me about my office. We have heard you loud and clear! CLE training this year will be more focused on what information and skills the local club officers will need to be successful.

One of the biggest problems in developing CLE training is how to present all the information Kiwanis International would like to have covered. Kiwanis International supplies booklets and slide presentations that help district trainers present information for club officers in a meaningful way.

This year we have added two additional trainers that will bring different approaches in training club officers. All club officers and LTG’s will receive an invitation to the CLE training in their area.

This invitation will inform them of not only training but who your instructors will be. You will have the opportunity to give your instructors questions on areas you would like to have addressed during CLE training. This will give your instructors time to adapt the CLE training to meet your Regions specific needs.

Succession Planning needs to be in place in every Division and Club. I have found that people are willing to take on leadership positions if they believe they will get the support, training and commitment needed to be successful in the leadership position they are being asked fill.

NEWSLETTER CONTEST BREAKING NEWS! All Lt. Governors, please send me your Division newsletters instead of sending them to Barry Dodd. I will need your newsletters from October-Present. I would appreciate it if you send the newsletter by attachment.

Thank You! Margie Swanson Newsletter Judge maswanson1@aol.com 11378 SW Palm, Place Tigard, Oregon 97223 6 PNW Kiwanisbuilder magazine Spring 2016

Divisions need to have a Past Lieutenant Governors Committee to help identify and recruit potential Lieutenant Governors in the future. It is also important that the local Club help support their Lieutenant Governor monetarily. Taking on the responsibility of Lieutenant Governor sometimes becomes a financial burden. Shortly after members are elected, they are notified about Lieutenant Governor Training. Sticker Shock becomes immediately apparent. They must pay for the training ($300), the cost of going to the training (cost depends on distance), the red jacket ($199), the LTG shirt ($41), and the LTG blue jacket ($70). It can become a financial burden if someone is not ready for these initial costs. Having a Division LTG fund will help defray these initial costs and show your support of the new Lieutenant Governor. To ask someone to become a Lieutenant Governor and for that privilege they must come up with over $500 is not going to encourage future Lieutenant Governors to accept this highly necessary position!

Those Clubs and Divisions who have a strong Succession Plan for their Officers and Lieutenant Governors do well. Succession Planning is KEY for Clubs and Divisions to maintain leadership consistency. It is the reason why some Divisions and Clubs smoothly transition from year to year while others have difficulty identifying leadership from year to year.

I am asking local Club Officers and LTGs to help their incoming officers attend CLE training in their specific area and help their new Lt. Governor attend their training in June.

The Kiwanis Club of Kennewick...

the Cycle of Poverty in Our Community Background In 2014, the Kiwanis Club of Kennewick determined we needed a new Club signature program to: • Focus our Kiwanis Club efforts on improving the lives of children in our community, • Revitalize the efforts of the members of our Kiwanis Club, and • Inspire others to join our Kiwanis Club to help achieve these goals.

From this charge, the Service Excellence Committee was formed. This Committee completed a community needs assessment and determined that poverty and its impact on children at the elementary school level was significant and more pervasive than was readily apparent. After discussion with leaders at the Kennewick School District, our Club chose to partner with Amistad Elementary School.

We believe that success in school is essential for success in life and that educational achievement is the cornerstone of efforts to break the generational cycle of poverty.

To achieve our goal to break the cycle of poverty, we have implemented a variety of programs at Amistad to assist students in achieving good grades, improve attendance and decrease their interest in local gang activity, enhance their goal setting skills, promote character development, self-esteem and perseverance, assist students in developing attitudes that promote excellence in action and attitude while receiving delayed gratification, and ensure children have basic needs met, including adequate nutrition and clothing.

Initially, our Club is offering programs at Amistad Elementary with future plans to continue this effort throughout their entire K-12 school career, invite additional Kiwanis Clubs, service clubs, churches, and agencies to join our effort at additional schools, and enlist the support of community leaders to Break The Cycle Of Poverty In Our Community.

Programs Our Club members have begun many programs at Amistad including a flag football and basketball skills program during the lunch hour recess for 4th and 5th grade boys and girls to emphasize sportsmanship and taking responsibility for personal actions. We are now launching Girls On The Run for 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders. Coaches come from the ranks of the Club and recruited volunteers, with all adults completing both Kiwanis and School District background checks before working with children. Club members proudly wear their yellow Kiwanis vests at all events to establish our identity with the children.

Three days a week, Kiwanis volunteers have breakfast with an average of 240 students to encourage them to have a great day at school.

Two 4th grade classes are participating in a pen pal program with adults from the Club and recruited volunteers. An Accelerated Reading program provides incentives for children to improve their reading skills and gain recognition for their accomplishments. The Kiwanis Bring Up Grades (BUG) program was launched to provide recognition for students who raise their grades into an acceptable range and maintain or continue to raise them from one grading period to the next. BUG also provides participants with important social and emotional skills, allowing children to calm themselves when angry, initiate friendships, resolve relationship conflicts respectfully, and make ethical and safe choices.

10 PNW Kiwanisbuilder magazine Spring 2016

We piloted the Kiwanis Terrific Kids program as an after school program for 1st and 2nd grade youth who meet weekly to work on projects and develop skills related to providing service and respect to others. The Amistad Beautification Club (ABC) is a project that allows a Kiwanian to lead children who have library fines due for lost or damaged books (but lack the resources to pay the fines) in completing various school improvement projects, build the student’s confidence and camaraderie with other students, and regain library privileges. Our Kiwanis Club replaces the missing or damaged book once the project is complete. The Terrific Kids and ABC programs have great potential to evolve into a Kiwanis Kids Club.

Club members are also serving as mentors to students who are referred by teachers. Efforts are made to connect with these students to encourage improved classroom and school behavior so that they become better students with less disruption to others. To assist in meeting the basic needs of the children, Kiwanis members have volunteered for food distribution efforts at school events, adopted families during the holidays to meet food and clothing needs, distributed backpacks full of school supplies, and worked to meet the needs of children needing warm clothing and shoes. We even launched a new fundraising event – a Murder Mystery Dinner starring many of our Club members – to provide key financial resources to accomplish our work.

All in all, our Kiwanis Club of Kennewick is reinvigorating itself by making a difference in these children’s lives. Our members are reporting tremendous satisfaction in this work…this Kiwanis effort to break the cycle of poverty and improve the lives of children in our community.

The strength and stability of any great organization is established with a cornerstone placed for direction and purpose just as one is placed for the foundation of a building to secure its ability to weather the effects of time and serve its purpose. With that in mind, the Directors of your PNW Kiwanis Charitable Foundation have established our cornerstone to be a sustainable one million dollar endowment fund placed for a lasting legacy as Kiwanis begins its second century of service to the world.

We have established a vision of what we want your foundation to look like for the year 2020 and beyond and the services we want to provide. It is called “2020 VISION”.

Every Kiwanian in the Pacific Northwest District is a part of the vision because, as a Kiwanian, you are a member of the foundation. In order to have a sustainable $1,000,000 fund and at the same time grow the services we provide to the children, clubs and communities of the Pacific Northwest, we must not stop at one fund goal; but have several levels to reach for. Please take an active part in achieving 2020 VISION for your Foundation.

One way you can participate is to make a personal donation every year to the Foundation. We have established a recognition program for individuals who contribute $25.00 or more in any year. It is a beautiful pin that can be displayed with pride, and will change each year – start your collection today!

YOUR PACIFIC NORTHWEST KIWANIS FOUNDATION The Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation provides a lasting legacy for children, thanks to the support of Club leaders, and caring Kiwanis individuals like you. Every member of a club in the Pacific Northwest is also a member of the Foundation.

We rely on the support of clubs and individuals through annual club gifts, annual individual gifts, memorial gifts, distinguished service awards, and fellowships. Your Foundation is a careful steward of your contributions. Currently your Foundation has over $900,000 in total assets, with a goal of reaching a sustainable $1,000,000 providing an annual impact within the PNW of at least $100,000 by 2020. Interest earned on investments help fund Foundation programs.

Supporting Service Leadership Programs The Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation provides $12,000 to $15,000 in scholarships each year to outstanding CKI members and graduating Key Club members. In addition to scholarships, the Foundation provides thousands of dollars in grants each year to support the district’s Service Leadership Programs, from K-Kids through Aktion Clubs.

Your Pacific Northwest Kiwanis Foundation also receives funds in support of Pacific Northwest CKI for those who want to contribute through a US 501(c)(3).

In the past 10 years, the Foundation has provided more than $315,000 in grants and scholarships to support Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs in our District. Supporting Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program KCCP (www.kiwanis-kccp.org) supports

hospitals in Seattle, Portland and Vancouver BC to help fund pediatric cancer research. Along with the Kiwanis Foundation of Canada and Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program, the PNWKF provides a vehicle for charitable contributions to KCCP Seattle Children’s Hospital.

Donors can specify which hospital their gift supports. Revenue from district fundraising projects are split between the hospitals. Since 2011, the Foundation received almost $250,000 in contributions for the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program

Foundation Corner Your PNW Kiwanis Foundation has a newly redesigned web site that makes it easy to get answers to your questions about the Foundation. Check it out at www.pnwkiwanisfoundation.org.

We will have a table at each Regional Conference so stop by and discover what’s going on with the Foundation. We will be giving away one bottle of wine at each conference free just for stopping by our display and getting a ticket.

For the past two years we have held a raffle for a one week stay at the winner’s choice of five fabulous locations. It has been highly popular with the winners and very successful for the Foundation.

Well, this year it is even better as the winner can choose between seven different locations for a fantastic week’s stay!

Imagine you and three guests enjoying magnificent gardens, galleries and museums in a big city with lots of history, golf and sun and a horseback ride into the desert ; all of this with two pools on site in Phoenix, Arizona.

OR, go to Palm Springs, California with sun and warm temps, lots of golf courses, desert, a spectacular gondola ride into the desert mountains and the glass cathedral.

OR you could go north of the border to Canmore/Banff, Alberta, Canada with gorgeous mountains and Lake Louise for year round outdoor activities and the Columbia River ice glaciers.

OR, can you see yourself in Victoria, British Columbia on the harbor with museums of all sorts, Parliament, Empress Hotel, Butchart and Butterfly gardens? Yes Victoria has it all including a castle.

OR, you could decide to enjoy the best of southern Baja at Coral Baja, Mexico with ocean, San Jose, fishing, whales, kayaking, snorkeling, golf and of course the wonderful desert and sun.

Yes, one of these fabulous vacation experiences could be yours for a mere $20.00 donation to your Foundation. Only 500 tickets will be available so see one of the Foundation Directors for your chance to win. The drawing will be held at District Convention in August.

JOIN US IN GROWING YOUR FOUNDATION. Check it out at our table or on the web site for how you can help support continued scholarships and grants.

OR, you might choose Estes Park, Colorado for spectacular scenery, Rocky Mountain National Park, Big Thompson River with fishing, hiking and wildlife.

OR, choose something closer to home like Port Townsend, Washington with the beach, Puget Sound and Olympic National Park with a myriad of activities such as clamming, crabbing, fishing, hiking, biking and kayaking.

MEET THE CANDIDATES for Governor-Elect 2016-2017

Chuck Richardson

Roger Bell

Charles “Chuck” Richardson was born in south central Kentucky in 1945. He graduated high school and enrolled in Florida Christian College. (Back then they were called Junior Colleges.)

Roger Bell joined the Kiwanis Club of Yakima in 1980 and has chaired several club committees. He served two terms on the club board and is a Distinguished Past President of the Yakima Kiwanis club.

After attending for 1 year enlisted in the U.S. Air Force in the Civil Engineering unit. He had temporary duty in both Viet Nam and Korea.

Roger is also a two-time club Kiwanian of the Year recipient, a Ruby K award winner and has been a recipient of the Hixson, Rusty, and Zeller awards.

Chuck began his career in the United States Postal Service in 1969 as a clerk. Later he was promoted to District Manager, Statistical Programs Data Collections Division in Spokane in 1988. A position he held until his retirement in 2008.

Roger has served twice as a Lt. Governor 2006-2007 and again in 2008-2009 and served as a Division Counselor.

Chuck began his journey in Kiwanis in 1997 joining the South Hill club. Since then he has served in every position in the club except treasurer. He was elected to his first term as Lt. Governor of Division 46 in 2001 and then again in 2014.

Chuck has attended every District Convention since 2000 and two international conventions, the latest being the 100 year anniversary in Indianapolis last year. He was instrumental in opening two new clubs during his first term as Lt. Governor and was a charter member of the Hillyard club in 2005 and Airway Heights in 2010. He was, and still is involved with the Lilac City Aktion club, as well as the Builders Club at Shaw Middle School.

Currently Chuck is an active volunteer driver for the local food bank, Second Harvest, collecting donated food items 3 days a week.

Chuck has stated that his real emphasis when he is elected as Governor-elect in 2016-17 will be greater and consistent communications between the District Chairs and Lt. Governors and renewed efforts to increase the membership for the District through the Formula program.

At the District level Roger has held multiple chair positions including: Strategic Planning Chair - 4 years Current Chair - Law & Regulations Serving as Chair of the 3G Squad at Conventions Serving on Finance Committee Serving on Executive Committee and has received the Lee Price Award for Outstanding District Chair. He also is serving on the PNW Foundation Board.

Roger says, “I have a vision for the future of Kiwanis in the Pacific Northwest and it involves bringing recognition for you as a Kiwanian and for your local club.”

“Please join me on that journey.”

“My business experiences as a leader and manager combined with my Kiwanis experience has uniquely qualified me to lead this Great District into the Future.”

“My goal is to help you identify your Kiwanis passion and to create positive change in the PNW Kiwanis for our communities.”

Spring 2016 | PNW Kiwanisbuilder magazine 25

“Helping the Community…

Starting off as just an idea inside of Wellness teacher, Jordan Scoggins’ mind, an ice cream class at Wood Middle School in Wilsonville, Oregon was started. Even with a passion for food, Scoggins had no idea of the upcoming ride.

The Jr. Scoop that was created six years ago morphed into an ice cream business run by dedicated, thriving young entrepreneurs at Wood Middle School. Jr. Scoop consists of 6th, 7th, and 8th graders who lead the daily lives of business owners.

Many helped this business thrive, but one organization has been there since the beginning: The Kiwanis Club of Wilsonville, sponsoring us as a Builder’s club. Kiwanis was first to believe in us and our mission, which made Jr. Scoop thrive. Through the years, Kiwanis provided Jr. Scoop with many connections, experiences, and donations, helping Jr. Scoop morph into today’s business.

“One of the purposes of Jr. Scoop is to improve the public’s view of middle schoolers and their potential,” says Vincent Nguyen, 8th grader on the design team.

Jr. Scoop gives back to Wilsonville every chance they get, donating gym supplies and band instruments, and many more items; however, their biggest event of the year is their clothing drive in spring, which gives money to Doernbecher’s Children’s Hospital to help children with cancer. “The clothing drive is hard work, but it’s all worth it because in the end, you know you’re doing a great thing,” said President Owen Gail.

Jr. Scoop teaches the basic fundamentals of business. Eighth grader, Ethan Gail, state’s, “Dedication and communication are needed to run a business.” The opportunities of Jr. Scoop play an irreplaceable role in these young adult’s lives, providing them an array of knowledge when they leave Jr. Scoop and move on to high school.

Helping children is the main focus of this organization, but working with the community is one as well. This business’ mission is to give back to the community in Wilsonville, Oregon, because of how much the city has supported them. Even their slogan is “Helping the community one scoop at a time,” as it says on the back of their t-shirts.

The hard work and dedication given to Jr. Scoop allows the business to thrive. In 2015, the nonprofit organization received many donations, and were able to serve at new places in the community. Not only have inperson sales increased this year, so have online sales. In 2015, Jr. Scoop started a new membership program with four levels, ranging in cost from $50 and $200.

This makes it so that customers can enjoy everything Jr. Scoop has to offer.

Division 70 Lt. Governor Charlie “Santa” Williams and some of the outstanding members of the Jr. Scoop Ice Cream team.

The experience from Jr. Scoop is like no other offered around the world.

Averyl Hartje, Publicist, stated, “I have seen Jr. Scoop go from a club and making ice cream in Mr. Scoggins’ garage, to a fullfledged business. To be a part of that is something I will never lose.” Giving young adults the option of joining any part of a business allows them to flourish later in

…One Scoop at a Time” life with the mindset they develop now. Jr. Scoop pushes forward to soar to heights that all of its members can reach. A truly original and special organization, everyone involved can be proud take part.

Thank You for your support, Kiwanis!

Canby Kiwanis Club Donates $50,000 For Library Canby Kiwanis Club gives $50,000 for Children’s Area of the new Canby Public Library The donation marks the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis International, “Serving the Children of the World” The Kiwanis Club of Canby presented a $50,000 check to the City of Canby to sponsor and furnish the Children’s Area of the new Canby Public Library, currently under construction and scheduled to open in September 2016. The gift was chosen

by Canby Kiwanis as the club’s centennial project to honor the 100th anniversary of Kiwanis International, founded in 1915.

a major centennial project that would help the children of Canby, the new library stood out as the perfect fit. We feel privileged to be able to support the Children’s Area and hope our gift inspires other groups and individuals to donate to this worthwhile cause.”

Signage for the new Children’s Area will include the Canby Kiwanis name, said Luana Hill, who chaired the club’s Centennial Project Committee with members Anne McKinney, Tony Crawford, Betty Crawford, Marilyn Wood, and Julie O’Connor.

In addition, the city will include a plaque incorporating the Kiwanis Centennial logo. “We will even be able to sit down with the architects and talk about features we would especially like to see in the area, such as bilingual signage,” Hill said. “We are excited at the possibilities for creating a wonderful space for kids, while putting the Kiwanis name in front of the entire community.

“This is the first major gift for the library project, and the city is thrilled to see this kind of support coming from the community,” said Amanda Zeiber, assistant city administrator and project manager for the new library. Noting that tax money only funded building construction and not interior furnishings, Zeiber said, “Gifts like this make us hopeful we can complete the vision of a beautiful gathering place with something for everyone.”

Canby Kiwanis was able to make this donation through its Canby Kiwanis Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization that operates the Canby Kiwanis Thrift Store. “Anyone who ever shopped at Canby Kiwanis Thrift Store or donated items has helped to make this donation to the library,” said Joanne McCall, foundation president. “Kiwanis is all about community, so we want to thank everyone for the support that made this possible.

When we see the finished product this fall, we can all feel a sense of pride for helping to make it happen.”

Club President Todd Gary made the presentation to Mayor Brian Hodson and his fellow council members at the March 16, 2016 City Council meeting in Canby, Oregon.

“The Kiwanis motto is ‘Serving the Children of the World,’” Gary said during the check presentation. “When we were brainstorming

Once the new library opens this fall, Canby Kiwanis plans to hold a special celebration in the Children’s Area.

Anacortes Noon Club Thrift Shop Reaching Milestones To celebrate its Kiwanis Thrift Shop reaching $3 million in community donations and other milestones, the Anacortes Noon Kiwanis Club will have a block-party celebration on Saturday, May 21, from 1 p.m. to 4 p.m., adjacent to the shop at 5th Street and O Avenue, Anacortes. The free event is open to everyone and will include a short program, exhibits, food and surprises.

Along with the celebration of $3 million in gifts to the community, the Kiwanis Shop is celebrating its 30th anniversary and the Anacortes Noon Kiwanis Club its 90th.

Since opening in 1986, the Kiwanis Thrift Shop has earned millions for programs that benefit children in our local and global community, with substantial contributions to Kiwanis International initiative Eliminate and Pacific Northwest District project SIGN (Surgical Implant Generation Network).

The shop’s success is based on the commitment of a close-knit 100-plus-member organization that comprises a diverse range of talents, including construction, engineering, electrical, retail, display artistry, marketing, financial, graphics and many more.

Noon Kiwanis Club members are required to work four hours per month at the Thrift Shop, with many club members taking on greater responsibility. Kiwanis Thrift Shop workers are all volunteers that manage and staff the entire operation, bringing in approximately $25 for each hour worked. In addition, youth groups sponsored by the club – including the oldest continuous Key Club in the U.S., K-Kids, Builder’s Club – work at the shop to earn community service hours. Members of the sponsored Aktion Club also participate in shop activities.

New West Valley-Yakima K-Kids Club The new Wide Hollow Elementary School K-Kids Club, sponsored by the Kiwanis Club of West Valley- Yakima, is off to a great start this year! The 24 members and their teacher advisors, Megan Peterson and Jaime Whittum, have been busy making a difference in their school and community.

Another important aspect of the shop is a panel truck – decorated with graphics of children – used to pick up the larger and heavier items such as appliances, furniture, tools and equipment. The truck has been a valuable asset that adds significantly to revenue and promotes the shop as a traveling billboard throughout the community.

The Kiwanis Thrift Shop stands tall as a place for recycling, repurposing and re-using items that may end up in the trash or worse. The club estimates that it recycles more than four tons each month, including ½ ton of metal and ½ ton of paper.

The Anacortes Noon Kiwanis Club has been an integral part of the Anacortes community for decades, and the Kiwanis Thrift Shop a center for good deals, recycling and fellowship. Locals come in to do more than shop, “In fact, we get people who come in once or twice a week just to say ‘hi’ and visit,” said member Nola Beeler.

For information about the Anacortes Noon Kiwanis Club or Thrift Shop visit www.anacorteskiwanis.org.

– Dennis Richards Anacortes Noon Kiwanis The West Valley Kiwanis Club is very grateful for the new Wide Hollow K Kids, Yakima Valley Action Club and West Valley High School Key Club. These great service leadership programs truly make a positive difference in our community!

Their leadership activities include: ringing bells for the Salvation Army, providing leadership to collect over 1,500 food items to help less fortunate, helping serve soft drinks with their parents at West Valley Kiwanis’ 60th crab feed and collecting over $1,000 “Pennies for Patients” to help the Lymphoma and Leukemia Foundation for Children.

Later this spring the club plans to have a car wash to raise funds, to refurbish up to four playground benches at their school. They plan to put a plaque on each bench designating their donation from the “2016 K-Kids Club.”

Members of the new Wide Hollow Elementary School K-Kids Club help with serving soft drinks at the West Valley-Yakima Kiwanis Club’s 60th Crab Feed.
