Feb 21, 2024

Hello Everyone,

Our speaker tomorrow is State Senator Steve Neville.  You don’t want to miss the information that Steve will share at Kiwanis this week. He just returned from the 30 day Santa Fe Session.  Come and hear what went on at this Session., some good, some not so good.  He has officially announced that he will be retiring at the end of 2024.

Spring is a perfect time to invite potential new members to visit Kiwanis, join us for lunch and enjoy an interesting speaker. 

What makes Kiwanis appealing to you? Do you think our club is vibrant? It’s true that vibrant clubs attract more members.  Social Media – FaceBook – is an excellent avenue to let our community know about our many Kiwanis programs and projects #KidsNeedKiwanis.

Rio del Sol Kiwanis Club currently has 61 members and 3 Honorary Members. I believe we are one of the largest service clubs in our area.

If you have helpful membership suggestions, please contact me. Remember, bring a friend to this week’s meeting as State Senator, Steve Neville is the speaker!
