Many individuals join Kiwanis clubs specifically because we are an international
organization with a global mission-that lofty goal of changing
the world one child and one community at a time. To this
point, with a few notable exceptions, our Capital District
clubs seem to have focused on local efforts directed toward
helping our own children and communities. This is commendable,
but it does not address the incredible needs of children
worldwide...Accordingly,
our District Committee on International Understanding has
decided to pursue a new approach
to achieving our global mission. We have selected Africa because its needs are great and most of us know extremely
little about this part of the world...Kiwanis

| Kiwanis Donates To Children
Oriented Organizations " Serving the Children of the World" is the mission of Kiwanis. At the weekly Wednesday meeting, donations were made to two organizations. Pictured are Wayne Littleton of Believe in Tomorrow accepting a $250 check from Kiwanis Club President, Ed Schaefer, on the right. Donations like this help to make it possible for Believe in Tomorrow to bring seven families with sick children per week during the summer to the Children's House By the Sea in Ocean City, Maryland. Thanks to the continuing support of the community, funds are raised to support these donations. The next fundraiser is the October 11th Kiwanis Fall Pancake Breakfast at the Community Church on Rt. 589, from 7 AM until 11 AM. Cost is still only $5 for Adults, $3 for Children under 12 and Free for Children under 5. Tickets are available in advance from any Kiwanis member or by calling 410-208-4181 or at the door on October 11th. We hope to see you there. |
