Auburn Lewiston KIWANIS ONE DAY 2011

Kiwanis One Day is the day when the Kiwanis Family of clubs all do something of service in their community.

On April 2nd, the Auburn-Lewiston Kiwanis Club organized a day of work, fun, and great deeds. We painted walls and floors at both The Boys and Girls Club in New Auburn and The Root Cellar in Lewiston. At The Root Cellar, a local private contractor, Carl Haskell, donated his time and expertise with the floors. At the Boys and Girls Club, floors and walls were painted by all. The Lewiston Key Club participated with extra labor as did individuals from Starbucks in Auburn. A VERY Special thanks to Steve Smith, Manager of the Lewiston Sherwin Williams Paint store, for donating paint, rollers and supplies. They are located at 1168 Lisbon St. Lewiston, ME 04240-5026   Phone: (207)784-2939

Extra special thanks go to Past President Mike Meservier, who did the hard work coordinating these two projects, our members Chris Pope of the Root Cellar and Andie Hannon of the Boys and Girls Club who brought these needs to our attention, and the Lewiston High School Key Club members for joining in.

 

BUGS AND TERRRIFIC KIDS

Our member Chris Pope has started the Kiwanis B.U.G.S. program and the Terrific Kids program, at his business, The Root Cellar. As well we are partnering with our member Andie Hannon of the Boys and Girls Club to do the same. In these days where the focus of schools seems to be testing and school-wide outcomes, these programs feature individualized goals and behavior. Each child is valuable, and these programs help us to help them realize that. Chris and Andie are looking for mentors to help these kids. Lets give the children all the help we can!

To help out, contact Chair and Past President Dan Goff at 786-4118 or dgoff13@yahoo.com

 

REMINDER- NEW MEETING PLACE!

For the last couple of months, we have been meeting at MARCO’S RESTAURANT, 12 MOLLISON WAY, LEWISTON! If you are not familiar, Mollison Way is off Outer Main Street (Route 202), Lewiston, across from the Salvation Army Thrift Store, and just down from Marden’s.

We continue meeting at Noon on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month. So far, reviews have been fantastic. If you haven’t been, come see what you have been missing.

We hope you enjoy the new location!

 

Thought for today: What we must decide is how we are valuable rather than how valuable we are.
