Join us for breakfast to learn about all the great thkngs we are doing! Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization “dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time”. We are focused on improving lives through fellowship in service. Boonslick Kiwanis Club is one of five Kiwanis clubs in Columbia, MO. Organized in 1966, Boonslick is one of the two breakfast clubs. We meet every Wednesday morning from 7:00 am to 8:00 am in the at the HyVee on Grindstone in the club room upstairs. Our group of more than 45 members likes to have fun and informative meetings. Presentations are varied but always educational. Our club participates in various fund-raising activities in order to provide financial help to needy groups in our community. Some of these activities include a Pancake breakfast, an annual 8K run and a dinner play. We are always looking for new ideas. Kiwanis International joined forces with UNICEF to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus. We reached our club goal in 2014 and are proud to be a model club. We are first and foremost a service organization and this is where Kiwanis really shines. We like to volunteer our time to help others. Some of the service projects that we have participated in include working at Lee Elementary school, helping to refurbish the Boys and Girls Club, Clean up Columbia, the Community Nursery School, Rainbow House and helping to clean up the Kiwanis Park to name a few. We also work with Rock Bridge students through Key Club, and the Aktion Club for adults with disabilities. If you want to make a difference in our community, please consider joining us on Wednesday mornings.

This week we had four of our MACC Nursing Scholarships come back to give us an update on how they have been doing since graduating. Their proud teacher Julie Kiefer introduced them, and each gave us what they have been doing and two that have decided to become RN's and are continuing on. From left to right in the photos are Kia Walker, Misty Alexander, Desiree Sapp, Karla Lopez and Teacher Julie Kiefer. The second photograph is the same with the last person being out member Deb Shore who is a retired nurse and serves on the committee to pick the winners each year. This is one of our favorite scholarships to give as all who summit are in need of help with the cost of the program and their stories are wonderful!
