Final plans are underway for the Second Capital District Key Leader Weekend being
held April 25-27th at Arlington Echo in Millersville, MD.
The menus have been selected, the camp visited by Capital
District Key Leader leadership, and registration well underway.
All we need are for the Kiwanis Clubs to be sure their sponsored
youth participants are getting registered and subsequent
invoices paid. by Bill Jeunette
On march 6th the Builders Club at Daniel Morgan Middle School in Winchester, VA held a very successful blood drive in conjunction with the red cross. This may sound odd as none of the Guilders are eligible to give blood due to age restrictions, but club members selected this project as they knew the urgent need of the red cross blood program. The club had earlier had a Red Cross coordinator speak at a club meeting. The drive was scheduled after school from 3 to 7 pm and 84 willing donors were able to sign up but due to the long lines some other potential donors had to leave. The clubs acted as escorts and provided other services to the donors. The club had advertized a goal of 55 units as their goal. Of those signing up 67 were accepted and a total of 58 pints of blood were collected. The goal reached and exceeded. The members of the kiwanis club are very proud of our builders club achievements and a special thanks to all the staff at the school for helping out and especially to our teacher sponsor Jenna Arndt.
