What an inspiring meeting last week, with presenters Dino and Tina Hayz on hand to talk about their lifelong mission in theater and all hey have done for our youth!

With the holidays quickly approaching, you definitely don't want to miss this Monday's meeting. The Rock Island High School Chamber Choir will be on hand once again to sing in the holiday season. This is a great meeting to bring a spouse, colleague, friend, or any guest you would like! We want to have a great turnout for the choir!

Another tradition is to thank our server Gay for taking care of us all year! We are gathering cash for a year-end tip, so please think to bring something for her. Or we can bill you later if you forget!

And now a quick message from President Joan!

"Last week’s program with Dino and Tina Hayz from the Center for Living Arts left a lasting impression on all of us. The sheer number of children, families, and Quad Citizens they have touched through the arts over the past 20+ years is nothing short of extraordinary. Their commitment to helping young people find confidence, creativity, and community is exactly the kind of impact that aligns so closely with our Kiwanis mission. We were also delighted to welcome members of the Alleman High School Key Club, who shared an update on the meaningful service projects they’re leading. It’s always inspiring to see the next generation of leaders so engaged and motivated.

As we look ahead, we are excited to welcome the Rock Island High School Chamber Choir for our final meeting of the year. This program is always a highlight of the season and we encourage you to bring a guest.

And as we gather to celebrate, please remember to bring a few dollars to contribute to our annual holiday tip for our Bridges Catering server, Gay. She takes such great care of our club throughout the year, and this is our way of showing our appreciation.

Looking forward to a joyful, music-filled meeting as we close out another meaningful year together."
