With all of the problems around the world today, we as Kiwanians need to be there more than ever to help those who are in need. How can I help you say? You and your club can help by contributing to the annual gift campaign. Five dollars ($5.00) per member is what has been suggested and is the goal of the Kiwanis International Foundation.
As you know, our district shined last Kiwanis year with contributions over $25,000 and at the present time we are a little ahead of this time last year. The needs have grown, children of the world are starving, families have lost their homes to fires in California, our grant demands have increased because of the need for help.
The other night I had the opportunity to help fill over 2400 bags of food for children that would not be able to eat over the weekend if it weren't for the back pack program. The Key Club at Lincoln High School in Sioux Falls along with Kiwanis clubs in Sioux Falls and many other young people will, for the 4th year, be tying fleece blankets for over 1000 homeless children in the Sioux Falls school district. This program was thought up by one of our own Kiwanis members daughters and it has continued.
Please help us by contributing to the Kiwanis International Foundations annual gift campaign.
