Remember - Green River Kiwanis will not meet when EVSC schools are on a delay as well as when school is cancelled.
Through Jerry Ziemer and his funeral homes, we’ve been invited to participate in the Eyes for the Needy. Bring in any unused glasses and give them to Jerry. Green River Kiwanis is competing against other area organizations and churches.
The organization that donates the largest number of glasses will receive $1000. The deadline for this is the end of March.
This year’s Riley Walkathon will be held April 28 inside Washington Square Mall. Registration will be at 9:00, with the walk at 10:00. Stay tuned for more of Chuck Young’s plans for this event.
The next GRK-out-to-eat will be held Tuesday, January 24 at Buffalo Wild Wings, East side location. We’ll send
out coupons to anyone attending and you can pass them along to friends; 10% of the monies from these meals will be donated to Riley Hospital.
Indiana Kiwanians are holding a statewide raffle to benefit Riley Hospital, with the drawing taking place July 27. They want to raise $100,000.
