Middle School Kiwanis Club Makes a Difference

At the Kiwanis Zone Conference in Pullman, Washington, Moscow (Idaho) Middle School Builder's Club President and Club Advisor were honored for raising over $1,000 for Central Asia Institute. Founded by Greg Mortenson (Three Cups of Tea), the money will be used to build more schools in Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Kiwanis Events in February

Just for fun, Kiwanis went to dinner at El Sol Restaurant in Cheney and then went to the Cheney Community Theater. The play, directed by Patty Steen, was "A Fairy Tale Courtroom."

Our next big event was delivering 500 + bouquets of flowers for Joy Dahl, owner of Chet's Flowers, on Valentines Day. Delivering flowers on Valentines Day is a pleasure for both the receiver and the giver. Wouldn't it be nice if all of our Kiwanis Projects were so heart warming.

Kiwanis guests prepare to sleep outdoors

After a hot breakfast at the last Cheney Kiwanis meeting of the year, our guests had training classes, made shelters for themselves in the forest, and settled down to sleep in the snow. The Cheney Kiwanis guests were 30 cadets from the Civil Air Patrol and U.S. Navy Sea Cadets. They were on an outdoor survival training exercise at Camp Comia. The temperature the night of their campout was about 4 degrees below zero. When you are a Sea Cadet or a Civil Air Patrol Cadet, you must be of strong character. Happy New Year!
