Join Us and Make a Difference!
We are back on Monday for our regular meeting, and hope to see you there. Below are some reminders again and then of course our President's Message. See you on Monday!
Rose Day is still going strong and you can help. Please sell or sponsor roses and get your commitment to Jeff Condit by the end of the month. Please help out the club by purchasing a dozen roses for your loved ones, selling to colleagues and friends, or sponsoring roses so that seniors in our Rock Island retirement homes will receive a lovely bouquet courtesy of Kiwanis! Only $20 a dozen and the funds help us fund our grants and scholarships! CLICK HERE for a form you can forward along in your email!
And finally, don't forget grant and scholarship applications are still be accepted. Spread the word so we can help non-profits and students in our community!
Mother Nature had other plans for us this past week, as the blizzard forced us to miss our scheduled Board Meeting. While we weren’t able to gather, rest assured that nothing will fall through the cracks, our Board will be connecting and making sure everything that needs attention is handled as we keep our club moving forward.
We’re looking ahead to a great meeting this week as we welcome Isabella Qualls from Argrow’s House. I hope you’ll join us for what promises to be an engaging and informative program. Don’t forget- she’ll have some of their great bath and body products if you have anyone you need to shop for!
And don’t forget, the KNRF Bowl-a-Thon is right around the corner! This is a fun and meaningful way to support the important work of the Kiwanis Neuroscience Research Foundation. Whether you’re bowling, cheering, or contributing, your involvement makes a difference.
Sincerely,
President Joan
