For 99 years, Fond du Lac Noon Kiwanis has proudly partnered with the Fond du Lac Family YMCA to help local children learn lifesaving water safety and swimming skills.

This week, more than 400 children will participate in Kiwanis Learn-to-Swim, Safety Around Water Week—a tradition that continues to make a lasting impact on youth in our community. We’re honored to support this important program alongside Kurki Funeral Chapel & Crematory.

Help us continue investing in local kids for the next 99 years—learn more about Kiwanis and how you can get involved! 💙💛

Our Fond du Lac Noon Kiwanis group toured the new LimitLess Finds thrift store this week. We enjoy outings to explore new businesses in FDL and to support their mission. Check out this great shop on 3rd Street. And, they will take your donations as well.
Why 2 photos? It was a bit windy and we had a "redo".

Sam Kaufman, our Fond du Lac County Executive, spoke to us in more detail about the different choices under consideration by the County Board for a new jail and new courthouse. The next step is to receive the two proposals the County Board authorized from the architectural firm to submit. One for a new the jail at the adjacent south parking lot, and one at the farm land near the new highway department including a new justice center. Sam shared the County Board will have to make the decision where and how much to spend and needs a 2/3s vote to approve bonding, but Sam opposes moving the Courthouse and could use his veto power. (Editor's Note: Noon Kiwanis is proud to be the best downtown service club since 1917, and this editor would be very disappointed to see the jail and possibly courthouse leave).
He also explained that the Acute Psychiatric Unit at 459 First St., will be closing due to large financial losses caused by low census, low reimbursement rates, low staffing levels, and high costs of contracted staff to maintain required staffing levels for a locked 24/7 hospital. Sam met with State officials to secure financial subsidies to keep the Acute Unit open, but was denied.

David Diaz, the new Executive Director of the Fondy Food Pantry, spoke to us about how food insecurity has greatly affected our community. They have over 200 active (and amazing) volunteers who run the three sessions at the walk-in pantry each week, serving 1,200 households per month, equaling 90,000 pounds of food. The Food for Thought program pack bags of nutritious and child-friendly food for kids in the Fond du Lac school system who may need it over the weekends or holidays. The home delivery service helps those clients who cannot come into the pantry. Fondy Food Pantry also helps those who are unhoused and are in need of a meal. If you would like to help out by volunteering or donating, please visit their website to learn more about what you can do.
