7.27.25 Kiwanis annual K-Family picnic! Kiwanis members from our adult clubs, CKI, Key Club and family enjoyed a “wet” day at Starved Rock! The rain didn’t fully stop us. The annual “Governors Competition” occured between Gov Kim, CKI Gov Christine and honorable “fill in” mention Rishima from Key Club board with 4 games and one themed dress up (too wet to compete in that game). As competitive as I am, I won 3 of the 4 challenges 🤷🏻♀️🤭. Such a fun time connecting and sharing time with everyone! Special shout out to our Aurora University CKI members (Gov Christine’s club) and my Alma mater😉 and their advisor and our Aurora Kiwanis Club member, Dr Chris Wells, for supporting!! Their theme involved animals hence the dress up with the rhino blow up costume. Loved it!! Dear friend, past distinguished Governor, now our Executive Director Angie Burford attended as well! Great times with great people! Now Governor Designate, Mary Zeronas got to share in the fun and see what to expect next year😊. We love Kiwanis!!💙 ... See MoreSee Less
I am playing catch up here… 7.23.25 Division 13 Governor Visit in Rochelle. Thank you to LTG Ric Taylor and wife Jody for organizing and hosting us all!! It was so nice to meet fellow Kiwanians and hear all of the good works the 5 out of 6 clubs who could attend are doing! Keep up the great work! Congrats to Rochelle Golden-K for having the most growth at that time of 9 new members!! Woohoo! Another heartwarming story(and on display) from Oregon-Mt Morris club President Caleb Jenks was the GRIT freedom chair. Their clubs signature project is purchasing accessibility equipment for organizations in need. Inspired by these good works, ED Etnyre Co donated to their efforts and a second chair had just arrived and was going to Camp Independence (camp for children and young adults with Spina Bifida) for their use🙏🏼❤️ Keep of the great work Div 13 and keep sharing the Kiwanis goodness in your communities! Thank you for hospitality and your support💙🥳🙏🏼 ... See MoreSee Less
