Another administrative year for Kiwanis is coming to an end. Today was the time when we got to see the results of our fund raising efforts throughout the year. Besides the $35,000 which was handed back to the community needs other moneys have been given in the form of scholarships for students and for money to Key Clubs and Circle K clubs as well as help for the Aktion Club. Isn’t it great to be part of such a dynamic service club?

The committee for allocation of funds consisted of Terry Wakefield, Stacy Mascarenas, Fred Nichols, Roxie Denning, Rick Nisley, Amy Dyer, and Mailyn D’Aponti,
