Our Mission
To Improve the Quality of Life for Children and Families in the Quad Cities and Abroad.

Announcements
There is still time to RSVP for the Rotary/Kiwanis Circa 21 Dinner Party. See your email for details.
Coats for Kids is taking shape. Kristi Crafton and Ramona Dixon are heading up the effort this year. We will be getting coats, hats and mittens out to the schools to distribute this year, versus having our usual event at the Botanical Center. But most importantly, the children who need winter coats will be getting them once again this year!
And finally, we are accepting nominations for the Kermit Schroder Kiwanian of the Year for a few more weeks. If you would like to nominate a worthy member, please write or email your nomination to to the club so the Board can vote on this.
