The St. Charles Kiwanis Club's Rose Day fundraiser is Wednesday, April 24, which coincides with Administrative Professionals' Day.

Rose pickup will be from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the back parking lot of Bethlehem Lutheran Church, 1145 N. Fifth Avenue in St. Charles.

The day begins as Kiwanians unload a truck full of roses, which come from Colombia, and arrange them by color. Signs mark the direction from Fifth Avenue, and carhops bring the roses directly to the car.

Previous rose recipients have been contacted by club members since early March, but anyone can donate to the club by visiting kiwanisofstcharles.org.

Roses are available for a donation of $25 to the St. Charles Kiwanis Foundation, and must be prepaid by April 16.

All proceeds will be used to support over 30 local organizations that help area children and families in need.

The St. Charles Kiwanis Club meets every Tuesday at noon at the Baker Memorial United Methodist Church, 307 Cedar Ave. in St. Charles. The club is always seeking service-minded people for its membership. For more information, visit the club's website.
