Buckingham Elementary School K-Kids Fundraiser
by David Landis

Pictured are members of the Kiwanis Club of Greater Ocean Pines - Ocean City sitting among the tables with the children on an inter-club visit to a weekly meeting of the K-Kids, a Kiwanis sponsored club for elementary schools, on February 5th. The children used this week's meeting to prepare the Tootsie Pops used in their Valentine's Candy Gram fundraiser which the advisors are distributing. The children sell the candy grams for fifty cents each to raise money for two of the programs for this year, namely, the "Relay for Life" which supports cancer survivors and the "Humane Society". Advisors to the K-Kids Club are Julie Zurkle and Debi Wooten who supervised the work of both the children and the Kiwanis Club members in attendance. Lots of Tootsie Pops for the Valentine Candy Grams were prepared to be presented to recipients on Friday February 13th, making it a good Friday the 13th. Children learning responsibility, teamwork, and leadership to carry them through the rest of their lives.
