Kiwanis family in the news

Altruism alive in Tar Heel state.  The Winston-Salem (North Carolina) Kiwanis club kept busy during Kiwanis Family Month (November) by: working as senior advisors with their Crosby Scholars; making donations to the Boys and Girls Homes at Lake Waccamaw; donating dictionaries to Easton and Arts Based elementary schools and the Salvation Army Boys and Girls Club; donating books to Smart Start; attending meetings of their sponsored youth; financially assisting Key Club members who attended Carolinas District Fall Rally and Carolinas District Kiwanis Family Conference.

The club also donated cans of food to the Reynolds High School Key Club food drive, visited the K-Kids Club at Arts Based Elementary and the King Kiwanis club, and tutored students in math and reading at Easton Elementary.—Winston-Salem Journal

Little levity in Levittown. When Joe Corace, 2006-07 governor of the New York District, challenged Kiwanis clubs in the state to complete a six-part project involving Scouts, health, local heroes, family, seniors, and sports, the Levittown Kiwanis club answered. Among its activities: presenting Everyday Hero awards to five community members; inviting residents of local senior citizen centers to attend its Brotherhood/Sisterhood luncheon; putting up a health table at a fair, staffed by member Jacquelyn “Jackie” Nogan; sponsoring Levittown Pride Day with a host of fun activities for the family; hosting a Father’s Day run.—Levittown Tribune
