Join Us and Make a Difference!
Thanksgiving approaches, but we still have one more meeting before the month is over. We hope you can join us Monday for a good program and networking with your friends and colleagues.
Ladrina Wilson from Iman Consulting will be our guest speaker.
From President Joan:
"As we move into the heart of the holiday season, I’m feeling incredibly grateful for the energy and dedication our club continues to show each week. We’ve enjoyed some fantastic programs recently, each one reminding us of the strength and creativity that exists throughout our community. It’s inspiring to see how these presentations spark new ideas and reinforce the impact Kiwanis can have when we work together with our partners and neighbors.
We’re also building real momentum with our fall and winter fundraisers. Thank you to everyone who has helped support and promote these efforts so far. Your commitment ensures that we can continue providing grants, scholarships, and hands-on service opportunities throughout the year.
Looking ahead, we are preparing to give back in a meaningful way this holiday season by Ringing the Bell for the Salvation Army. It is a competition between the other Illinois Quad Cities Kiwanis Clubs and we know our club is going to dominate the opportunity. If you’re interested in taking a shift or teaming up with fellow members, please reach out to Joan. We’d love to have you involved in one or more shifts on Friday, December 12 and Saturday, December 13.
Thank you for all you do to Invite, Inform, Inspire, and Impact. Your service and generosity shine especially bright this time of year."
