The Keene Kiwanians Welcome You!
The Kiwanis Club of Keene New Hampshire is a service organization comprised of caring men and women from all walks of life. Our objective is to bring aid to children in need. The majority of our efforts benefit children in this community. A portion of the funds we raise go to help meet Kiwanis International objectives which focus on the special needs of young children from prenatal development to age five. We serve by sponsoring fund raising activities, which provide monetary support for children’ programs and through personal involvement in the giving of our time and skills. Anyone interested in serving others will feel very welcome here.

A lot of smiling, a lot of sharing, a lot of conversation, and food, and a lot of discussions on how to make Keene a better place. Can you spot the visiting former club President? How about the member's spouse? Or the Kiwanian who may transfer to our club? Care to join us?

Special Olympics
|
3/14/2010
|
The Special Olympics event will be held on Sunday, March 14, at Keene High School. The scoring/timing needs two people at a time. The most the schedule will run is from 9 am to 4 pm. That is 7 hours. That could be set into three shifts. The exact times of the shifts will be determined by the final game schedule. The game schedule is always dependent on the number of teams. The number of teams is usually not a solid number until the last minute.
People in Kiwanis have expressed interest in being back out at courtside doing their volunteer work on this event. Let’s see if there are six people who will commit to this. If it appears early on that we won’t get them, we can pull that part of the sign-up sheet.
If one of the Kiwanis youth groups will supply about 4 to help prep the meal, then we would only need 8 Kiwanians to prepare the meal.
