August Service Project

Monday, August 30 at 11:30am at Bull McCabe’s in downtown Durham. It will be a Dutch Treat lunch to gather, collect, and then deliver, school supplies to the agency Caryons2Calculators.

In addition to participating in the service project, we will be able to pick up tickets for the November Pancake Sale. The sooner we get them, the sooner we will each get our first 50 sold.

Service Project on Monday, April 12 at 3:30

The site of our “Stop, Drop and Read” project for April and the Week of the Young Child is the Child Care Network Center at 117 Woodcroft Parkway (it’s near the intersection of Woodcroft Parkway and Fayetteville Street - behind the Rite Aid that faces Fayetteville Street).  We’ll be reading to the 3-year-olds at 3:30 p.m.

It’s great that we will get to celebrate the Week of the Young Child with children since for Kiwanis “Young Children [are] Priority 1.”

Please let me know if you will be able to attend (I’m already counting on Ken, Dale, and maybe Pat to be there).  We can plan to meet in the parking lot of the Child Care Network Center at about 3:15 p.m. on Monday.

Thanks.

Kiwanis Service Project This Week

Good Monday morning!

As you know we won’t be meeting at lunch time today - this is March Service Project Week.  So, we’ll be gathering on Thursday afternoon, March 25, at 2:15 p.m at Eastway Elementary School at 610 N. Alston Avenue.   It’s on the corner at Alston and Taylor Street.   Our time packing food into backpacks for the 50 kids who get the packs for the weekend should take no longer than an hour.

If you are going to participate, please arrive at the school just before 2:15.  I think the best place to park is on the street in front of the school.  Go into the main door of the school and walk past the office into the cafeteria.  There will be a volunteer sign-in sheet in the cafeteria.  After we set up for packing the backpacks, we will pack them and then deliver them to the classrooms.  Putting things away and taking cardboard to the recycling container will take just a few minutes.

I would like to know how many Kiwanians are going to be there.  Please let me know if you plan to participate by a reply email.

If you want to learn more about Eastway, you can go to their web site at http://www.eastway.dpsnc.net/

THANKS!

P.S. Happy Birthday, Ken.
