Hello Everyone,

Kiwanis Pancake Breakfast -A Huge Success!

A big Thank you to Arron, Proprietor of Outback Steakhouse, for donating the food for our Pancake Breakfast last Saturday!  Also, a big shout-out to Choptix with Hutton Broadcasting for their amazing live remote. Gratitude also goes to the Outback wait staff who generously donated their time to serve, and to our fantastic Kiwanis volunteers:

Chairwoman Summer Jakino, Bernadette Alarid, Chris Troyer, Barb Chambers, Di Searle, Paul and Jill McQueary.

Tomorrow’s speakers are Bill and Lillian Clopine with My Very Own Bags of Love. The San Juan Chapter is dedicated to working to help provide for the immediate needs of children who have been displaced from their home or are in need due to difficult circumstances.  Their program aligns with Kiwanis-helping children in our community.

Looking for something fun and different to do this summer? Cody Dudgeon, owner of Desert River Guide gave a fantastic presentation about their affordable, family-friendly and scenic float trips along the Animas River and the San Juan Rivers. Tours are available seven days a week from May through August.
