What have we done in 2016?
Kiwanis members gave an average of 27 hours of volunteering per member, per month.
Kiwanis Club of Greater Omaha gave over $5000 in charitable giving. The largest single donation was a technology gift to Sacred Heart kids. Other donations went to a UNO Scholarship, All Play team sponsorship, Camp Okay and many individual worthy organizations.
There is a long list of activities from this year with nonprofits. Special Olympics long jump officiating. AllPlay volunteering. Salvation Army bell ringing. Sacred Heart reading. Teammates.
Plenty of service hours were done. Highway cleanup. Yard cleanup for disabled. AllPlay field spring cleaning and painting.
And – we have fun! Taking Sacred Heart second grade to the zoo. Chinese New Year party. Summer picnic. Interclubs.
What’s coming in 2017?
Yes, your Kiwanis club has a sustainable path. The board expects the dues will remain the same and 2017 outlook is busy and bright.
Membership is active and we initiated a new member last week.
Our primary goal for 2017 is keeping our commitments to kids in our community. To do that, we need to grow our membership. Bring a guest once a month to a Monday meeting.
Have a great Thanksgiving,
John
