To keep our most important fundraiser of the year top of mind, don't forget to sell roses! 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!

Now on to the rest of the news this week!

"We had a wonderful program last week as Heather and Melissa from Friendship Manor shared an update on all that is happening at this incredible Rock Island asset. From the history of the organization to the many ways they continue to innovate and serve residents today, it was inspiring to hear how Friendship Manor continues to play such an important role in caring for seniors and strengthening our community.

"Looking ahead, we’re excited to welcome fellow Kiwanian Mark Petersen, who will share more about the important work of the Kiwanis Neuroscience Research Foundation. This is a cause deeply connected to the Kiwanis mission, and I hope you’ll join us to learn more.

"As a reminder, our Rose Day sales are underway, and this is one of the many ways we raise funds to support the programs and initiatives that make a difference in our community. Please also continue to spread the word that our Kiwanis Grants and Scholarships applications are open. If you know a student or organization that could benefit, encourage them to apply. Thank you for all you do to keep the spirit of service strong in the Rock Island Kiwanis Club."

Sincerely,
President Joan
