Hello Everyone,

Thank you to LeAnn Manguson for updating us about the Geo Bond for higher education and the local Bond for San Juan College.  The flyer is attached above with some information from the College.

Also, thank you to our great group of presenters from Exceptional Community Hospital.  We appreciate Carrie Olson, Dr. Hubbard, Tim Timmerman, and Sandra Connell for updating us on their new organization to Farmington and information on their upcoming  surgical center.

Help Us Prepare Our Community for Winter!

San Juan United Way is partnering with Frontline Mission for a Winter Prep Drive to help local individuals and families prepare for the colder months ahead.

We are collecting blankets, towels, winter items, hygiene products, shower tokens, laundry tokens, and monetary donations.

Kiwanis members can bring donations to any Thursday Kiwanis luncheon. San Juan United Way will collect all donated items each week and deliver them directly to Frontline Mission.

Every blanket, token, hygiene item, and dollar can make a difference for a neighbor in need. Let’s come together as Kiwanis members and help Frontline Mission keep our community warm, clean, and cared for this winter!”

The above flyer is a non-profit that our own Rick Burns spends a lot of love and time on, the Karadah Project.  It supports vulnerable internally displaced women and children through education, skills training, and food sustainability programs in those countries.  Take a look at the flyer to see how to support or chat with Rick!
