Kiwanis hearts

During February, we celebrate Valentine’s Day, a day for sweethearts. Kiwanians have hearts, too—hearts big enough to share.

This month, I encourage you to seek out those men and women who have Kiwanis hearts—potential members who are willing to share their time, their talents, their gifts with children—at home and around the world.

Invite a friend, business associate or even a stranger to a meeting, or invite them to take part in one of your club’s service projects where they can witness the Kiwanis heart in action, or put their own into service and feel the blessings we feel every day.

This month, it’s all about the heart. I encourage you to put yours to work for the children in your community and elsewhere, and to look for those like you who have much to give, to share, to help make the world a better place for children, and for all of us.

Please exercise your Kiwanis heart. Keep it strong and beating for the children.

Last week, we had a speaker from the gang unit of our County Prosecutor's office.  Sadly, gangs are throughout our county.  Because we are a suburban community, the public and our children don't see it coming.  The speaker suggested that Kiwanians could help through more outreach to the kids.  It led me to check the KI site for materials we might try with the help of our Builders and Key Clubs.  However, I could not find anything.  Is there anything in the works at KI or something we could begin working on together to address our growing gang problem?  Thanks in advance for your time, Lisa, LBierly@ocymca.org

Lisa,

Gangs are everywhere and I too would like to see a Kiwanis program that would help prevent our youth from being drawn into gangs. I do think that what we can do in the meantime is use our Boys & Girls Club Partnership as well as the programs we have. Still something specific would be very beneficial.
