First, a quick reminder that we are off this coming Monday, as it's the rare 5th Monday of the month. Enjoy the day off and we'll see you all back on April 6th! In the meantime, here's this week's message from Joan.

We had a fantastic program this past week with Isabella Qualls, who shared the impactful work of Argrow’s House and Autistic & Loved. It’s inspiring to see how they are supporting women, children, and families across the Quad Cities in ways that align so closely with the Kiwanis mission. We were also grateful for the opportunity to support their work by purchasing some of their great products. It was wonderful to have the Alleman Key Club in attendance as well. We always enjoy connecting with these future leaders and look forward to welcoming them back for our grants and scholarships meeting in the coming weeks.

A quick reminder that this is the final call for Rose Day orders! Jeff is preparing to submit the order, so if you would like to purchase or donate one (or several) dozen roses, please reach out as soon as possible. Thank you for helping make this important fundraiser a success.

We’re also excited to have a great group of bowlers representing both the Rock Island Kiwanis Club and our Aktion Club at the KNRF Bowl-a-Thon in Geneseo this weekend. It’s always a fun and meaningful event supporting the Kiwanis Neuroscience Research Foundation, and we wish everyone the best of luck!

We’ll take a short break this coming week with the 5th Monday, but we’ll be back together on April 6th as we welcome Michael Haney from Honor Flight of the Quad Cities. Looking forward to another great program and seeing everyone then!

Sincerely,
President Joan
