Key Leader Program Underway
As I write this article for the Builder, the Capital District is about to hold its very first Key Leader Weekend. All statistics point to it being one of the most successful initial weekends ever held. With only a few days left to register, 35 students are already on board. Included in that number are five Key Club officers who have stepped up to the plate and volunteered to serve as the very first Student Facilitators. They are Anne Elder from Virginia Beach, Terrance Clark of Largo, Carolyn McCauley from Christ Church School, Emily Engberg and Hyo bin Sung both from The Salisbury School in Maryland. These students will cover the leadership curriculum at the same time they will be practicing great leadership skills as they each head up break-out neighborhoods. more

Capital Dristrict K Family to Support Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk
by Rosemary Cummings, Chair, CPR-M Committee

We invite our Kiwanis Family (Kiwanis, CKI, Key, Builders, K-Kids, and Aktion Clubs) throughout Delaware, Maryland, DC and Virginia to participate in the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Light the Night Walk on the Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk October 13, 2007. We will walk together as Kiwanians to demonstrate how we serve the Children of the World, one child and one community at a time. The Walk is a positive way to put the Kiwanis image before our neighbors and friends. Walkers will secure donations of $100 or more and they may walk to honor someone who died or is suffering from either disease. This is such a wonderful cause you will have no trouble getting donations. Friends can mail donations, but many find it more convenient to donate online. I plan to walk in Memory of my Aunt Catherine who died of Leukemia this past March and for a close family friend now suffering with Lymphoma.

Before the walk, we invite all Walkers to join us at 5:00 PM for light refreshments at the Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Club, 84 Kent Street, Rehoboth Beach and then walk as a group or drive the short distance to the Village Improvement Association beside the boardwalk for the 7 PM Walk. Bring your Kiwanis Club banners and wear your Kiwanis hats and shirts. Please RSVP if you plan to walk to stein@udel.edu or call 302-537-7979.

Our team is Delmarva Kiwanis. Every Member of every Club can participate through walking or if someone cannot attend Oct 13, they can still ask for donations from family, friends, and neighbors to support the other Walkers. When someone donates, the person automatically receives a confirmation and a thank you note from the team. Click here to visit the Delmarva Kiwanis Web site. To participate as a Walker, Click the "Join" button beside the Team Captain's name, enter your name and follow the instructions to invite your friends and family to donate to the cause. Thanks to all for your support in this Community Service.
