Monthly Report Recognitions April 2013 Top Five Service Projects Allen High School-Angel League- Kiwanis Angel League Softball//T-Ball provides a positive recreational opportunity
for special needs children that require a modified sports activity. Ages 5 to 18. The league is supported with the help of Angel League parents, the Kiwanis Club of Allen, the Allen High School Key Club, and the Allen Sports Association. Angel League takes place every Monday, there are two games so two shifts. When we get there, one and sometimes two of us will get paired up with each kids, we try to keep the "buddies"" (this is what we call the Key Club members) consistent with the child so they can get to know each other. The main purpose of Angel league is to help these kids feel like they are just like everyone else, not have to worry about anything and just have fun. It makes everything worthwhile when we see the smiles on their faces when they hit the ball and when we chant their names and give them high fives. The children consistently come back every week because they love it as much as we do. The smiles on those children's faces are not something that you can buy with money, it warms your heart and remind us how lucky we are.(written by Eric Yan)
Cy Fair-Heartland Bingo-members from Cy-Fair played bingo with seniors that resided at a retirement home. Early High School-Tales for Tots/YOF Project-The Tales for Tots project was a project focused on helping
children enjoy reading. Members of the club wrote small stories and the top stories were "published". The stories were copied and laminated and given to kids at our local public library. A few members also helped read the various stories to the kids. CDs were also recorded of members reading the stories and both the CDs and copies of the books were given to the kids that attended the reading at the library. Overall the project was a huge success that made a huge impact on our local community. The project has opened doors in the library wanting us to continue to read during the summer.(Written by Samuel Kinnin)
