The first batch of work-ready women's clothing and accessories from the Kiwanis Club of Pontchartrain and the Divas Book Club was delivered to Dress for Success New Orleans October 2. The nonprofit's limit on the number of items per donation will result in at least two more deliveries from these extremely generous donors. These donations support Dress for Success's mission of helping unemployed and underemployed women achieve economic independence.👗🌟

Kiwanis Club of Pontchartrain's very own Ellen Robinson created a beautiful basket submission for the raffle at DCON, recently held in Kenner, LA. The basket's title was 'Gadget Addiction' (plus a little Mardi Gras lagniappe). Items included a power washer, phone sanitizer, rotary tool, hand-held bladeless fan, snack bag sealer, and a home teeth whitener kit, to name a few. Several Mardi Gras-themed items were also included, including two decorated masks suitable for the winners to wear to the Governor's Mardi Gras Party! Thank you, Ellen! 🌟

Four members of KCP attended the District Convention in New Orleans at the Airport Hilton the weekend of July 31st.

In addition to attending numerous informational and inspirational workshops, the attendees assisted with a district service project to provide packets of activities for children who are part of families being housed at the Ronald McDonald House as their ill children are being treated at the Manning Children’s Hospital.

Attendees are shown in an assembly line packing small bags with coloring books, crayons, markers, colored pencils, and other small games and activities. Attendees also made cards to cheer up and creatively busy the children whose siblings are often critically ill. These supplies were donated by clubs from the Louisiana, Mississippi and west Tennessee area.

The Mardi Gras themed convention was hosted by the Dawn Busters of Metairie and presided over by 2025-26 LAMISSTENN Governor Marcel Lashover. It provided an interclub opportunity for Ellen Robinson, Myra Lewis, Deidre Charlot and Cynthia Gaudin, shown below.

Numerous community and Kiwanis member and club awards were also part of the celebration.

LAMISSTENN Governor Andrew Dozier announced that the 2027 Mid Winter Conference will be held in Baton Rouge in March. The International Convention will be held in Dallas in June. The District Convention will sail from New Orleans to Cozumel July 29th. Members are encouraged to get on board for the four-day trip with other members, family and friends.
