Everyday can be a day of helping the community. There are many service opportunities that you and your club can do during the summer. In this issue there will be some service project ideas.

Along with service during the summer, it is a great time to visit your Kiwanis clubs. Throughout the school year, it may be hard to go to their With Love and Service, meetings because of your schedule but in the summer, you can always plan ahead and attend their meetings!
