A Preview of Hope Kids 2018
May 23, 2018
Pam will give members a preview of the 10th annual Hope Kids Day this coming summer. She is working on adding more events and participating churches, with a goal to serve 2,675 children in need. Here's a Day4Hope video you will be interested in seeing. Pam Hawn is a Wife and Mom with a huge heart for her community. Throughout Pam’s life she has served with many outreaches geared specifically for the homeless…her growing up years in New York, developed Pam’s heart at an early age for the hurting and the lost. Since moving to Florida in 1981 her passion grew to help those who go without. Pam continued being involved with many organizations who shared her same passion for the homeless. In August of 2009 Day of Hope was birthed. A community outreach project that would serve 200 homeless children with all the basics to get ready for back to school. A project hosted by Pam’s home church and offered completely free to the families, but would require an army of volunteers and much funding. The project was a huge success: with over 200 volunteers and over $25,000 raised a Day of Hope was provided. Each preselected/prequalified child received a medical exam, dental exam/cleaning and floss treatment, resource for a free eye exam and reader glasses if necessary, haircut, school and family portrait, new backpack filled with all the needed school supplies, a care bag of personal care items, a $50 gift card to Bealls department store for new clothes/uniforms, a $25 gift card to Payless for new shoes, a personal safety id card from the sheriff dept, etc… meals were provided throughout the day and fun things to do like nail painting, interaction with the police and their motorcycles, the local fire department brought an engine and an ambulance. Many individuals and agencies were present to share invaluable resources. It was a day that gave parents peace and kids hope! |

SRQ Veterans, Fixing our backyard first
Aug 22, 2018
In 2010, William met the founder of SRQ VETS, Eddie Cacciola. Together, with a core of local veterans, they built this idea to use local resources to solve local veteran problems. And, in turn, to create an environment where veterans and all community members can work towards building a stronger home. Their grass roots mission was humble. It is their goal to fix our back yard first, and in the process build a model, so that we can fix our neighbor's back yard next. |

This year our Kiwanis One Day is on Saturday, Oct. 27th, and I have been appointed by President Peter as the Grand Poobah for this event. While I know many of you, especially our club gardner Bill, look forward to working with our hands in the dirt as we've done in the past, another opportunity has come to my attention.
As many of you know, the Early Learning Coalition is having a Mini Golf Halloween Party called "Tee Time for Tots" at Evie's on Bee Ridge, from 9 am to noon on the same day. As the ELC is looking for many volunteers to staff this event, in talking to Ana McClendon at ELC it became obvious that we should combine our efforts.
Ana can use 25 or more volunteers so it's a great way to bring together members of the Kiwanis family (as KI wants us to do}.
She needs 10 to 12 folks at 8 am on the day of the event to help setup while the rest of us need to be there by 8:30 for the tee- off time of 9. Benefits for the volunteers include water, pizza, and a free round of golf. And of course, you can buy whatever you like at Evie's as well. The party will be over by noon.
Ana has encouraged us to wear Halloween costumes--perhaps something you've got stashed in your closet, the one that may or may not embarrass your spouse or kids. If we are REALLY clever, we might have some sort of coordinated costume design so all the participants will know we are from the Mighty SKKC !!
I will be passing around a clipboard at lunch for names and phone #'s, but to make it easier for everyone, you can respond to this email with a confirmation that you will be there at 8 or 8:30 and I will look up your phone # (unless you want to add it!).
This should be a terrific way to address our Kiwanis One Day and to extend our participation with an organization we already support.
