Gas City Kiwanis Club seeks youth-oriented projects for focused support
The Gas City Kiwanis Club is looking to a bright future following one of its latest fundraisers, and hopes to chase that momentum to even better serve the community.
Having just completed its second beef raffle with all 2,000 tickets sold, members are overwhelmed and grateful for the community support and dedication to keeping the club alive and thriving, says treasurer Ron Pennington.
'We've really been on a good trajectory the last couple of years. And financially, we're in very good shape,' said Pennington. 'Because we have more money, we are looking for more projects really, kind of hoping to get the message out there that we want to do more.'
The club is looking for input from the community on what the needs of the city are, and is open to any suggestions that pertain to youth.
'We would love to help out, whether it's a music program at a school, we've been doing greenhouse projects with schools, we've done Safety City, it's really anything that's youth oriented. We really would like to identify needs out there, and that could be future projects for us.'
They are looking for more volunteers to help with these projects as well, whatever they may be, to make the best use of the time and financial resources they have, says Pennington.
'We will do anything that helps the youth, that's what we're all about,' said Pennington. 'If we can make an impact on young people. We're all we're all for it.'
