The Hillsboro meeting that we attended was a Board meeting… so we got to learn a lot about their various projects. They work with the Food Pantry; do park clean-ups with their Key Clubs; assist with a Doernbecher car seat safety check program; collect books and distribute them in give-away projects, and MORE!

We went to the January 5th meeting of the Tualatin Kiwanis. It was a Zoom meeting. We found out that they picked up over 1700 pounds of food for Packed with Pride during December. They sponsored a food drive and are planning to send at least three Key Clubbers

It was exiting to see the enthusiasm of the Lake Oswego members! They are doing a program called “Hunger Fights”. Their “Free Bikes for Kids” project is going very well, and they used their youth to help with the project! They are doing a “No-Sew” blanket-making activity for a women’s shelter. They started a 501c3 foundation and are now looking at ways to fundraise.

The Ross Island Early Risers had an impressive number in attendance, including those on Zoom. They talked about assisting in the registration payment for their newest members to the Mid-Winter Conference. The program was a fun slide show created about one of their members.

We heard a speaker at the Cedar Hills club whom we think we should bring to one of our club meetings. She told us about a “neighbors helping neighbors as we age” program called Viva Village. The club was very hospitable and mentioned that they are interested in doing more interclub activities together, now that Covid is less of a concern!
