We were privileged to participate in a forum with Mosaic Multicultural Connections to encourage women to recognise and support how they are feeling. Kiwanis presented the ladies with a gift bag and helped with keeping their children occupied with a colouring activity.

What a special morning. Our little helpers delighted the ladies at Amaroo Aged Care Facility, sharing smiles and hugs. Thanks to our members Kathy and Marie who picked the flowers from their gardens and to our mums who helped in any way. Happy Mothers Day 💐🌸🌼🌹

Today we saw two community groups come together to raise funds for children need. Young Jen Marial from Hunter Christian School played the piano as we welcomed guests. Local group “Momentum” harmonized beautifully in A Ca****la style followed by the very talented singer, songwriter Rachel Collis. Rachel shared some of her older music but delighted us with a couple of new yet to be published songs. A delicious afternoon tea ended our fundraising concert.

On this day recognizing women, I acknowledge the members of our Kiwanis club who give their time and energy to ensure those women who are not as fortunate have a reason to hope.

A busy morning for our Beachside members. After a quick cuppa and chat we packed 34 bags for refugee support Mosaic Multicultural Connections while a few started sorting and taking stock of goods on hand. Well done.
And thanks to the huge donation of bargain shopping and knitted goodies from friends of Janice.

Members Rae, Judy and Gladys attended the Div 2 Mini Convention at Teas Gardens last weekend. We learned a lot about what other clubs do during the morning meeting with the Australia District Gov Steve in also discussing his goals for our organization. The Saturday evening fun night had the theme LOVE given it was Valentine’s 💘 Day.
