Remember, we are Kiwanis- changing the world one child and one community at a time!


On November 9th the Vantine Life Fellow was awarded to Joe Falcone at the Kiwanis District Meeting / Education session in Lake City (Wild Wing Plaza). Your club commended you for many contributions, like bike repair and distribution program. The gift which was presented to Joe by Katie Landwehr, Division 7 Lieutenant Governor, will continue to fund scholarships for years to come.


This Kiwanis Bench was recently installed at the Soldier’s Field playground, along with the commemorative plaque.


Hope smiles from the threshold of the year to come, whispering, ‘It will be happier.’

— Alfred Lord Tennyson


Thanks again Golden K’ers for all you do.
