The Taylorville Kiwanis Club heard from the long-time coordinator of the Taylorville Police Department's "Kids, Cops, and Christmas" program, at its Tuesday meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.
Sargent Alan Mills has coordinated the program which now serves over one-hundred children and 50 families thru-out Christian County, for over 20 years. Mills added it's all done thru private donations.
This program was one of the recipients of the Taylorville Kiwanis Club's grant funding in October, providing 500-dollars for this year's efforts.
Kiwanis members also held their monthly business meeting as part of Tuesday's session, reviewing on-going projects for children and youth in the Taylorville community.
The Kiwanis Club provides volunteers for one night during the Taylorville Park District's "Christmas in the Park" donation booth, and this year club chair Larry Kemner has at least 8 Kiwanis members and their families taking the donations on Monday, December 23rd.
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.
