What an amazing meeting the Kiwanis club of Ypsilanti held this evening at Aubrey‘s on Whitaker. Plans are falling together for our new (Kiwanis) year in a beautiful way with much intentional support of literacy efforts in the community and working very hard to improve the lives of children. This would be a great chance for anyone to join in with us and learn what you can do to help make a difference. Thank you to Lieutenant Governor Haley Thomsen, who came to celebrate the evening with us as our new officers took their positions. Welcome to our newest member, Aaron.

This posting is late but still incredible! In May, at the end of the school year, we met with 950 students in 57 classrooms in Ypsilanti Community Schools Erickson, Estabrook, Holmes and YIES Elementaries. Kids picked out over 2000 gently used books. Many thanks to the principals, media specialists, and teachers who allowed us to take time out of their day to put books in kids hands, and encourage summer learning by pitching Ypsilanti District Library’s Summer Challenge. Also many thanks to the Kiwanis Club of Ann Arbor with who we collaborate at Holmes Elementary!

The Ypsilanti Kiwanis Club, led by President Vicki Salemi, was proud to host representatives from several area Kiwanis clubs for some fun and fellowship. Most importantly it was an opportunity to share community service ideas and plans. Ypsilanti Kiwanis was proud to present on their new emphasis on literacy in Ypsilanti schools and their support of EMU CKI (university level of the K family). Thank you to members from Kiwanis in Chelsea, Ann Arbor, Ann Arbor Western and Belleville. Special thanks to Aubree's Pizzeria & Grill for serving us.
