Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis Celebrates Local Schools Service Leadership Programs
by Rosemary Cummings

In August, Rehoboth Beach Kiwanis celebrated the two school districts, Indian River SD (IRSD) and Cape Henlopen SD (CHSD), and the service programs the club supports. During a luncheon celebration, Frankford ES indicated they would continue the Terrific Kids and Bug programs as they definitely help the school achieve its national standing. President George Blacklock presented Rosalyn Fradel a Certificate of Appreciation from Kiwanis International for her work with the K-Kids Club. As the new school year begins, Lord Baltimore ES advisor, Ms. Fradel and Kiwanian, Ms. Cummings are planning the schedule and suggesting new projects to benefit the school and the community. In addition, receiving a Certificate of Appreciation was Ms. Janet Urdahl, Rehoboth Elementary who attended the luncheon with 3rd grade teacher Ms. Mary Mathes. Together they plan to start a K-Kids program as part of the before-school program. Mr. John Yore received a Certificate of Appreciation for his support of the Key Club, which had a banner year during 2006-2007 including election of the current Lt. Gov, and raising over $8,000 in the Race for Rachael project. Mr. Ed Waples, CHSD Supervisor, Alternative/Achievement Gap Programs (who remembered he once played sports for the Key Club team in Wilmington) brought greetings from Superintendent, George Stone who was unable to attend. The meeting hinted there will be a few new Kiwanians and several new Service Leadership programs.
