The Appleton Fox Cities Kiwanis Club is happy to have the opportunity over the years to sponsor Kiwanis youth groups in the Fox Cities area. Along with currently sponsoring an AKtion Club that meets the 1st and 3rd Wednesday’s at 5:15pm at the Goodwill Campus, we also sponsor the Key Club at Appleton North and the K-kids at Park Community Charter School. Our Sponsored Youth programs promote leadership and service appropriate to every age group. Part of our support is providing a club Liaison at each meeting. Consider volunteering your time to join one of these groups at an upcoming meeting.
If you are visiting: K-Kids: Enter Lawe Street door (no need to sign in at the office even though it says to do so on the door); once inside, turn right, go down steps to the Art Room which is first door on the left. Mr. Lee Levknecht is the school contact.
Key Club: Sign at school office, meeting should be across from the office.

As part of the Service Leadership committee, Kiwanians read to 3rd graders at Horizons Elementary. The books are all at the school office. Kiwanis readers just need to go to Horizons school (2101 Schaefer Circle Appleton), register in the office, and pick up the book. The office staff will guide you to your room to read. The reading is around 1/2 hour and the book is left behind as a donation to the school.

When you walk in March for Babies, you give hope to the more than half a million babies born too soon each year. The money raise supports programs in our community that help moms have healthy, full-term pregnancies. And it funds research to find answers to the problems that threaten our babies. March of Dimes has been walking since 1970 and have raised an incredible $2 billion to benefit all babies.
Our club will be once again supporting the annual walk. Volunteers are needed to help with the grilling/preparation, serving, and clean-up of the food for walkers. Come for some or all of the morning.

HELP EARN MORE THAN $500 for MNT THROUGH A LOCAL FILM PREMIERE See the hilarious "Flim, the Movie", one day before its New York, L.A. Miami and Chicago premieres and its worldwide release, at the Warch Cinema (Warch Campus Center - Lawrence University - Appleton, WI) Thursday, June 4 and 7 pm. This critically acclaimed and award winning film was a big hit at the Raindance Film Festival in London and is a BIFA nominated film (British Independent Film Award) as the Best British Independent Film (Raindance Award) of 2014. "Flim the Movie" was a labor of love for director/star Raffaello Degruttola ("Saving Private Ryan", "Rush", "Quantum of Solace") and was filmed over a five year span in such far-flung locales as London, UK, Budapest, Hungary, and Los Angeles) Starring a bevy of notable British film stars and BBC TV stars along with Appleton's very own Dan Davies who co-stars as a clueless and easily flummoxed version of himself. Speaking of clueless...Dan Davies will be there to host an intro, meet and greet and a Q & A. This first ever world premiere of the "Flim, The Movie" will be sponsored by the Appleton-Fox Cities Kiwanis Club, with all proceeds from the event to go to our MNT cause. The cost of the event was underwritten by a Thrivent Financial through its Thrivent Action Team Program. This means our club can help raise $500-$700 for MNT, based on the number of tickets sold. Tickets are $10 and there are just 135 tickets available. A limited number of tickets will be made are available at the door and tickets will be sold in advance by contacting Anthony Snyder at at 920-628-4837 or Anthony.snyder@thrivent.com. For a preview of the movie, click on the link below: http://whoonew.com/2015/05/mockumentary-flim-the-movie/
This film has not been rated yet but is very similar to a PG-13 or a TV-14 movie. (No violence, no nudity, but it has an implied and referred to adult situation and some "salty" language as those wonderfully descriptive Brits sometimes engage in!) |

Looking for something fun to do on Wednesday June 25th?
Why not come over and join the Aktion club as we plant marigolds along the Marigold Mile. The group will be meeting at the Walgreens on the corner of Oneida and Calumet at 5 pm, and will be planting along the west side of the road. It takes about an hour to plant the marigolds along the section of the Marigold Mile that the Aktion club is responsible for, and we have a lot of fun during that time.
All you need to bring is a pair of work gloves, and something to kneel on if you want. This is a very fun project, and one that is appreciated all summer long.
