Kiwanis Creche Transforms Rehoboth Beach
by Rosemary Cummings

Sometimes as Kiwanians, we may think the work we do goes unnoticed or does not make a difference in the communities we serve. Just after Thanksgiving, Rehoboth Beach Kiwanian, Ron Paterson heard the local DE radio talk host complain about the dearth of religious carols in the Christmas Tree Lighting ceremony. Perhaps to stir up discussion, the talk host then questioned why the City had not set up the Creche as in previous years. Before the recent Main Street beautification, for almost 50 years, the Creche was traditionally at the Horn Pavilion on the boardwalk near Rehoboth Avenue. (George and Charles Horn were charter members of the Rehoboth Club, with grandson/son Jim and his wife Joan now current members). Ron (also the Rehoboth Vice Mayor) called in to remind the commentator setting up the Creche was not a City function, but a Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club community service activity. Online, Ron told the listeners the Crèche would go up the following Saturday, since the Kiwanians needed help a non-school day from the Cape Henlopen HS Key Club for the setup. Ron used this great opportunity to let all the early morning listeners in the DE Coastal area know about the work of Kiwanis and that the Christmas spirit is alive and well throughout the year in this resort town. Key Clubbers picture upper right are Corey Galbraith, Hilary Merlo, Chrissy Beckman, Kristin Dukes, Laura Betts, Brendan Callahan, Nikki Sharp, Brett Morris, Dominic Prestipino.
