St. Charles Kiwanis Club awards monthly grants in August
The St. Charles Kiwanis Club recently awarded their monthly grants for August to three local organizations that help area children and families.
At the Aug. 22 meeting, grants were awarded to the Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative in St. Charles, TriCity Health Partnership in St. Charles, and Companions Journeying Together in Western Springs. Attending the meeting were: Mid-Valley Special Education Cooperative executive director Mary Ann Fidishin and therapist Rona Henne; TriCity Health Partnership executive director Kim Lemanski; and Jana Minor of Companions Journeying Together.
Kiwanis is an organization of service and community minded individuals who support children and young adults around the world. One of the top priorities for the St. Charles Club is, "Young Children: Priority One." This initiative places continuing focus on the needs of children in the Fox Valley communities.
Because of the generosity of the community, the club has been able to award monetary grants to over 30 agencies dealing with children in the Tri-Cities area during the past fiscal year.
The St. Charles Kiwanis Club meets at noon Tuesdays at the Baker Memorial United Methodist Church, 307 Cedar Ave. in St. Charles. Service-minded individuals are invited to attend for fellowship and fun. Kiwanis is a global organization serving the children of the world.
