The Taylorville Kiwanis Club reviewed its efforts for children and youth in the Taylorville community, at its Tuesday meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

It was the club’s monthly business meeting during the weekly get-together, and committee chairs reported on activities they’re doing as part of the club’s priority for youth and children.

Funding Committee chair Randy Miller reported that the application form for local non-profits to apply for grants from the club, is now posted on the club’s Facebook page which can be accessed by going to taylorvillekiwanis-dot-com.   Applications will be accepted from other non-profits that have similar goals to the Kiwanis Club in assisting local youth.

Deadline for applications is September 15th.

Park Committee co-chair Duane Stock reported that his committee along with some other Kiwanis members, have been doing a lot of work at the location along Lake Taylorville.  Benches have been repaired or replaced, timbers surrounding the playground have been re-secured, and new picnic tables installed.  Stock also reported the board at their Tuesday meeting approved new siding and a new roof for the Kiwanis Park rest room building.

The Taylorville Kiwanis 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.
