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.

Volunteers should arrive at approximately 7:00pm as the flight is scheduled to return at 8:20pm. Kiwanians will be lining up directly after the military line. We will meet inside the terminal before the security check point. Directions will follow from there. The volunteers from Old Glory are very appreciative of our participation. One of their goals is to have a line of folks welcoming the veteran's back that stretches all the way from the gate to the terminal entrance. Anyone who wishes can stay to help with clean-up. Hope that you can join us. |

The Appleton Fox Cities Kiwanis Club is partnering with the Sustainable Fox Valley's Neighborhood Partners program this May with a neighborhood pilot which will be a model for community engagement around quality of life, health and sustainability in our Fox Valley neighborhoods. One of the projects happening this spring (in partnership with Goodwill NCW’s Community Garden Partnership Program) in a neighborhood in Appleton just north of downtown, will be making raised garden beds (a wood frame with compost to fill it) which will be available to people in the neighborhood at a very nominal cost. This program will encourage people to put these in their front yards, if they have sun there, to promote vegetable gardening. Educational and social events are also part of the project. DATE: Monday MAY 22 -fixing raised beds -bottle cap art installation In addition, we are looking for any donations of mulch, soil, compost or wood for making a new raised bed.

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.

Quarry Quest was created by a team of community-minded organizations in 1999 to help provide a better understanding of the construction and mining industries while also raising funds for local charitable organizations. The event has grown to be the pride of the community involving over 250 businesses and nearly 1,000 volunteers. In ten years, the event has attracted 150,000 people and raised over $750,000 for the Bay Lakes Boy Scouts Council, Weis Earth Science museum, and other local charities. Quarry Quest has founded and fund the Environmental Field Trip Fund. This was set up to help subsidize the cost of bussing for educational field trips for local schools. The combination of heavy equipment "rides", hands-on learning and unique family fun have visitors saying that Quarry Quest is "the best family outing ever attended!" Our club will once again be supporting one of the food concession stands and we are looking for volunteer to work either the 8:00am-12:30pm (set-up, cook, and serve), 12:00pm-4:00pm (cook/serve, cleanup and warehouse).
