Recently, the Fremont News-Messenger posted an article related to (now disqualified) candidate for Sandusky County Court of Common Pleas judge, Jon Ickes, and they used a photo of Mr. Ickes flanked by several local Kiwanis members and showing several large Kiwanis logos. Please know that this photo was taken at a candidates forum which we sponsored before the spring primary election and before the Ohio Supreme Court suspended Judge Ickes' license. At this event, we invited all candidates for office in Sandusky County, and we did not (and do not) endorse any of the particular candidates. In fact, while we appreciate that the Fremont News-Messenger did take this photo and is entitled to use it, we would ask that the newspaper choose another photo to use for this story, so as not to imply that Kiwanis endorses/supports Judge Ickes (or any other candidate, for that matter) or that we have any position related to whether or not his name should be on the November ballot.

What a wonderful evening celebrating 105 years of Fremont Kiwanis! 🎉
We were honored to receive proclamations from our friend, Mayor Danny Sanchez, and Senator Husted, acknowledging our service to Sandusky County over the past 105 years. Ohio Kiwanis Governor Marcia Copeland Hudson and her husband joined us for this special celebration as well and recognized our very own, Lieutenant Governor Mike Jay, with a special Governor's Award.
A big thank you to the Imagination Station for a fantastic special presentation and to everyone who helped make this milestone evening so memorable!
We look forward to continuing our tradition of serving the children and families of Sandusky County for the next 105 years and beyond! 💙💛

At our June 25th luncheon meeting, Kiwanis members welcomed Courtney Sturgill from Great Lakes Community Action Partnership (GLCAP) as our program speaker. Courtney shared information about the organization’s various energy assistance programs designed to help local families and individuals.
Members learned about programs including PIPP, the Winter Crisis Program, and the upcoming Summer Crisis Program, available July 1 through September 30. The Summer Crisis Program provides assistance with cooling needs such as electric utility bills, central air conditioning repairs, and air conditioning or fan purchases for eligible households, helping ensure residents can stay safe and comfortable during the warmer months.

Another highlight of the meeting was inducting our newest member, Administrative Assistant Missy Morales, with the Sandusky County Communities Foundation. Missy was inducted and sponsored by Past Lieutenant Governor Laurie Young. Welcome Missy, you will be a great addition to our fabulous club!
