The Taylorville Kiwanis Club held their annual Kids Days fund-raiser at the corner of West Main Cross and Webster last weekend.

Kiwanis members donning Kiwanis vests, stood on the street corner last Friday and Saturday asking motorists for cash donations to help the club in its efforts to provide programs and services for children and youth in the community.

The final tally when it was counted, was 24-hundred 72-dollars.  These dollars will go into the local Kiwanis Club Foundation to fund many Kiwanis programs like Coats for Kids, Kiwanis Park, YMCA and high school scholarships, supporting the local CEO program, and also providing funding to other local non-profits that also assist children and youth in the Taylorville community.

As Kiwanis Priority One chair, Bruce Blanshan again led this year’s Kiwanis Kids Days collection effort.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club thanks the community for their continued generosity during this year’s fund-raiser.

The club is part of a 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.
