KIWANIS ONE-DAY :
Plan to join with members of all the Olympic Peninsula Kiwanis
Clubs at the Kiwanis One-Day Project activity,
SATURDAY, April 4,
10 a.m. at the Northwest Kiwanis Camp
There is plenty of work to do � including
raking, carpentering, trail work, general clean-up, painting,
window-washing and much more! � so everyone can find something
that fits their ability and their stamina.
Bring some basic tools � rakes, work gloves,
work/painting clothes
and a wheelbarrow if you can cart it along.
PLEASE BRING SOMETHING FOR THE POTLUCK LUNCH!
MORE ON THE CAMP
Construction is going well on the new bathroom/shower
facility; hopefully, we might be able to do some painting and
installation of mirrors and cabinets during the April 4 Work
Day.
Donations of goods, services and money are also still needed
to begin construction of bunkhouses to replace existing sleeping
quarters. If you can help, please contact us at [email protected]
or call 360-732-7222.
Help Wanted: The Northwest Kiwanis Camp is looking for
paramedics or registered nurses interested in part-time or
full-time work between July 24 and Aug. 7. Call 360-732-7222
or e-mail Sharon Sherfick at [email protected]
April is a busy month !!!
BOARD MEETING :
Monday, April 6, 7 a.m., Caf� Garden
TUNA FISH DRIVE :
The annual drive for the Food Bank continues until April 13.
Please donate some tuna to this VERY IMPORTANT event (money
donations are also welcome). (Note that our last meeting
before the drive ends is Thursday, April 9.)
KIDS FISHING DERBY: This year�s
Derby will be on Saturday, April 18, at the Lincoln Park
pond. Club members will be needed by 7 a.m. for food prep,
earlier than that to help with registration. If you have a
food handler�s permit, please let Martha Standley know (an
official food handler must be there). All the food is provided,
and the event will be over by noon.
GARAGE SALE: Our annual
clean-out-your closet fundraising event is scheduled early this
year � Saturday, 8 a.m. to 3 p.m., April 25, at the old
Wilder Toyota lot on First Street. This year is the Noon
Club�s turn to plan the event, but they will need help to set up
and price goods in the days before the sale, help sell things on
that Saturday and do cleanup afterwards.
We can begin bringing items to the building on Monday,
April 20, at about noon. The Noon Club would like all the
items to be at the facility by Wednesday, April 22.
Need help transporting stuff? Call Tom Allen, 457-0285.
Remember, all proceeds go to the Northwest Kiwanis Camp.
Other news of Note
CAR SEAT SAFETY: Club members who
participated in a car seat safety check in Forks in March
reported that they saw a few unsafe situations, not just with
babies, but also with young children not using booster seats. So
this ongoing safety effort does really pay off for families.
Dave Sue adds the following: "Please ask everyone to talk
up the Child Passenger Safety Team, and the need for more
technicians in the area. I will be planning a 4-day tech class
for this summer and would like to have just local people in the
class -- more or less train for our own (Kiwanis Club's) team
from Clallam and Jefferson Counties!" What a great idea!
SCHOLARSHIP COMMITTEE: Nancy Martin
has agreed to take over the chairmanship of this committee next
year. She will serve on the selection committee along with Geri
and Don Zanon this year. Thanks, Nancy!
GETTING PAID: We received our $150
payment from the Downtown Association for the Halloween
picture-taking activity. Thanks to photographer Tim Crowley and
his "elves" for their efforts.
WELCOME
To Olympic Kiwanis
Susan (Sue) Bates
Sue is a nurse who has been involved for a
while with the Child Passenger Safety Coalition.
Among the needs that she sees in the community
now are employment, access to health care (including
mental health), hunger and support programs
for youth at risk.
At home, Sue enjoys reading, quilting,
gardening and baking. She is a
widow and has three adult children: Ted,
Carrie and Chris.
(And notice, she joined just in time to
celebrate her birthday!)
Thanks to Dave and Carla Sue for introducing
Sue to our club!
Youth Clubs
Builders Club
The Club continues to meet (faculty advisor Hilary Fluke
reports as many as 8 students at one meeting) and, with a lot of
animal lovers among the membership, has taken on a project to
collect supplies for the Humane Society. If you want to
contribute dog/cat food, kitty litter or anything else that
would help the Humane Society take care of their animals, bring
it to the meeting on April 8 and Hilary will pick it up.
Key Club (notes from the Noon Club)
The Clallam Volunteer Center kicks off its Volunteering
for Patches program at an April 7 meeting and party at the
High School. This program is a partnership between the Volunteer
Center, Key Club and Camp Fire USA; under the program, students
can earn a school letter by performing 145 hours of verifiable
volunteer work in one year. For more information visit
www.volunteerclallam.org
Key Club member Connor Spurr is collecting American flags
that are no longer suitable for display. Once collected, the
flags will be retired during a special ceremony. If you have
flags that are weathered, faded, frayed, worn, or torn, please
call Connor at 360-452-1172. He will be collecting flags until
June 1.
