Taylorville Kiwanis Hold Business Meeting to Review Efforts for Children, Youth at Regular Meeting Tuesday

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club reviewed its efforts in benefiting children and youth in the community, in a business meeting during their weekly meeting Tuesday at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  

 

The club will be providing funding for its annual “Coats for Kids” campaign providing coats, hats, and gloves, for nearly 40 local Head Start children later this month.

 

2 Kiwanis members, Blain Cornwell and Dennis Barnard, co-chaired efforts for club members to man gates at the August Illinois State Fair.  Their efforts netted the club some 800-dollars for Kiwanis projects.

 

Key Club chair Will Perkins reported that this year’s Taylorville High School Kiwanis Key Club has over 40 members and has been active.

 

Long-time Kiwanis members Larry Kemner and Duane Stock, were appointed co-chairs of the Kiwanis Park committee.  They’ll be working on pricing for a new concrete floor for the Kiwanis Park Pavilion, as well as pricing for adding a handicapped swing at the Kiwanis Park playground.

 

Kiwanis Funding Committee chair Randal J. Miller reported that November 1 was the deadline for applications from non-profit community groups that want funded thru the Taylorville Kiwanis Club Foundation.  Applications will be reviewed and then brought to the Kiwanis Board for consideration at the board’s November meeting.

 

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