Just a quick note to wish everyone well and hope everyone is hanging in there and making it through these troubling times.

It is with heavy hearts that our Club has decided to postpone our annual Pancake Breakfast & Silent Auction that was supposed to take place on 5-17. With the current situation with the pandemic it is best to reschedule for a different time. Our aim is to hold this event in the Fall, and will update our website and Facebook page once we have a date nailed down.
Hope everyone is staying well.  On Saturday, March 28 Kiwanis will be at the Roseville Bridging location to help build dressers for families in need. --THIS EVEN HAS BEEN POSTPONED FOR THE TIME BEING.
Bridging, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization serving the greater Twin Cities, provides donated furniture and household goods to families and individuals transitioning out of homelessness and poverty. Bridging gives hope – and for many – a leap toward financial stability for the first time. With locations in Roseville and Bloomington, Bridging is driven by volunteers and donations of basic home essential items from the community. Since 1987, Bridging has served nearly 90,000 local Twin Cities households, and reduces landfill space by 10 million pounds each year. If you are interested in making a donation to help purchase dressers that Kiwanis will assemble, please contact Diana at: 952-888-0746 or diana.dalsin@bridging.org.

We had a great conversation with a few people who wanted to stick around to hear about our club, and were happy to be able to share all the wonderful things we've accomplished as a club so far. If you're interested in learning more about Kiwanis, or would like to join us at a Tuesday lunch meeting, or an evening meeting, please reach out to Jim: 651-230-0084
 Thank you to everyone who joined us last night at Noodles & Co for our Kiwanis fundraiser! Noodles & Co was kind enough to allow our group at their location from 4-8PM, and for everyone who ordered their meal at the restaurant, 25% of the proceeds will end up going to our group.
We use these funds for scholarships for local high school seniors who are graduating in the spring. The scholarships will be sent to the college of their choice, to help them get ahead in their college career! Thank you to everyone who came out to support us!
