We had a very busy and enjoyable month starting with our November 10, 2009 Meeting at the Original Pancake House.  The first project of the month was on November 11 in partnership with Lutheran Social Services of Sioux Falls. For the third year, the Diversity Kiwanis Club has collected winter coats, hats, gloves, mittens and other winter-wear for refugee families who are new to the United States. Many of them are experiencing their very first winter and are not prepared for the cold and snow a South Dakota blizzard can bring. Twelve Diversity Club members helped distribute coats, shoes, mittens and other warm gear.  Fifty families from ten counties were assisted.
