Many have awoken to having little to no food resources as of November 1st. The Federal Government shutdown has left many in Las Animas County without SNAP benefits, and we are asking for your help during this difficult time.

The Kiwanis Board will be meeting again this Thursday to talk about our reboot, will include discussions about our "Signature" Fundraising Project "Demo Derby" and a "Signature" Youth Program (ie. Financial Literacy) along with planning our monthly "Social Hour" & "Business Meeting".

We will report to the membership and input and direction.

Game on!

Fellow members - I think we can now say that the world is about back to normal as much as its going to get.

So, I'd like us to start thinking about getting our monthly meetings (gettogethers) going again.

I'm more for these being "social events". Maybe we go bowling :-]

In the meantime there is a need in our community that affects our youth. The slide at the Kit Carson Park has been broken for many months - its going to be spring soon and kids gotta play.

What do you think about us getting involved and helping repair this?

We need to also start the planning of the Demo Derby and other things we can do to benefit and bring some joy to our area youth.
