The Taylorville Kiwanis Club held their monthly business meeting, at their Tuesday luncheon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.

Committee chairs reported on Kiwanis activities benefiting children and youth in the Taylorville community and around the world.

Kiwanis treasurer Dan Sneed reported that the recent Peanut Days on the streets of Taylorville, raised over 73-hundred dollars for local Kiwanis projects.  That amount was a new record. 

Sneed added that over 3-thousand dollars was spent recently as part of the Kiwanis Club’s “Coats for Kids” project, providing needy children coats, hats, and gloves.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Memorial Hospital auditorium.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
