Local programs: (A sample listing only)
Dictionaries for all third grade pupils in our School District. We purchase quality, hard backed youth-oriented dictionaries, affix individual name plates and present them personally at all of the elementary school. For many, this is the first book they have owned and we receive hundreds of heart-felt thank-you notes from the children each school year.
Hands-on help to the Sonoma Valley Museum of Art to move, build and paint exhibit panels and divider walls.
Helping to prepare and deliver meals through the local Meals-on- Wheels program
Planning for and Delivery of 80 to 100 Thanksgiving and Christmas Dinners to individuals in their homes who are unable to prepare their own of who cannot attend communal dinners at the Vintage House Senior Center.
Helping schools in our District with improving landscaping, playground equipment and picnic tables.
Conducting an annual charity golf tournament/dinner event in partnership with other non-profits to raise funds for a myriad of local community improvement projects.
Many of these projects began as one person’s idea or passion, which is taken up by the Club. Depending on the outcome, some have become a regular annual or standing project and will be repeated as long as they produce positively for the community. This process is one of the foundation stones of our success as an outstanding Kiwanis Club in our Division and District.
