10 Year Anniversary
10 years ago, our club was approached by Loni Fazio and Skaiste Zinkevucius of Hill Middle School, asking if we would be interested in sponsoring a Builders Club. On Friday, Sept. 15th, John Kroening, our Kiwanis Club Adviser, had the distinct honor of presenting gifts, and thanking Hill Builders Club faculty adviser Loni for her 10 year leadership with the club. It was a moving and meaningful time for Loni and John. Loni and Skaiste grew the club to over 100 members of today with their enthusiasm and love for the kids. Unfortunately, Loni's co-adviser Skaiste retired from full time teaching at the end of last year and was not able to attend. See Loni enjoying one of her gifts. Thanks to all for supporting our service leadership clubs financially by supporting our major fundraiser, Peanut Days.
Welcoming New Members
In the Spring of 2023 Kiwanis President Dave Cleveland welcomed new members Jeannie Dina and Steve Teggart to our Naperville club. Since joining both have shown lots of enthusiasm and involvement in a number of service projects. Thank you for becoming part of Kiwanis family of volunteers that makes a difference.
Golf Outing Fundraiser
On Wednesday, August 23rd, Kiwanis Naperville participated in Aurora's club golf outing fundraiser. All participants enjoyed the competition on the course, as well as a great meal to top off the day. Our Lt.Governor Kim Groom coordinated the different raffles held. Prizes ranged from golf bags, rounds of golf donated by area golf clubs, Chicago CUBS shirt/cap, golf balls, and cash prizes. It was a fun day where clubs supported each other in support of community needs.
