Kiwanis Adopt-a-spot FEBRUARY 15TH, 2O2O Once again, our club was asked to assist our Kiwanians in cleaning up their spot. It's was sort of cold, so made sure to dress warm! Our club members went to the Intersection of Teasley, Lillian Miller, and Wind River to make the community more beautiful for the Kiwanis Adopt-a-spot clean-up! We can say the project was a success. Thank you to everyone who came out to make Denton more beautiful!

Valentine's Day Fundraiser FEBRUARY 11TH-14TH, 2O2O During the week of Valentine's Day out club sold cookies during all lunches. To buy one cookie, it was $1, and for two cookies, it was $1.50. Also, with every purchase of a cookie, a valentine made by our key clubbers, was included. Our valentine fundraiser was very successful and delicious. So much so, that we sold out of cookies by the time B lunch ended! Then we got more cookies and resumed selling the next day and continued to be very successful. Thank you to all the key clubbers who signed up to sell the cookies and to the clubbers who helped with making the valentines. We hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day!
