This month is Homeless Teens Awareness Month, and we have decided to do the Shop Rite GC of any amount again for them as a treat. They can choose the amount, and I will cutely package it, especially since Easter and Passover fall in the same time frame. So, for the next four weeks, I will be collecting the gift cards each week.
Thank you again for embracing this worthy program, Karen G
Thank you all for embracing this program. Jennifer says we are a big help.
IMPACT CLUB – Part of the Kiwanis Possibility Project – Our club voted to become an Impact Club for the Possibility Project for Kiwanis International. By coming together for this Possibility Project, we can help make a difference in the lives of at least 10 million kids because we will raise $25 million for the Kiwanis Children’s Fund. An Impact Club commits to giving a per-member average of $500 or more over five years. As children’s needs grow, it’s crucial to keep pace. If you would like to donate to the Possibility Project, here’s the link. Donation form | Kiwanis International Our club’s number is K13741
