Your Voice Matters To Kiwanis

The Kiwanis club of Lombard is very active in our community. We do projects like: Kid Picks - that help parents have identification materials in case a child is missing; a Hospital Doll Project in association with Lexington Square of Lombard that assist doctors relate to children who speak another language; Flat Apple summer activities with the Healthy Lombard Foundation; and sponsor a Key Club (Leadership Program) at Glenbard East High School.

The club is current working on setting immediate goals for the 2016 - 2017 Kiwanis Year that begins on November 1, 2016 and ends on September 30, 2017 as well as long-term goals reaching out to 2020. To do an effective job, our local Kiwanians want to learn whether there are needs that we do not know about.

To do this the club is asking community members to take a few moments and share their thoughts on any or all of the following items:

• What would make our community a better place to live, work and play?

• What are some unmet needs of our community?

• What is your "wish list" for our community?

• What do you feel are the greatest barriers to community involvement for you personally

• What do you feel would get people excited about volunteering in the community?

• What short-term currently existing projects could the Kiwanis Club assist with?

• What long-term currently existing projects could the Kiwanis Club assist with?

Comments can be mailed to Kiwanis Club of Lombard, P.O. Box 321, Lombard, IL 60148 or emailed to Carole Webber at carriewebber@aol.com by November 30, 2016. Any questions may be directed to Carole at 630-508-1146

All data collected will be used to help fine-turn these goals and help define meaning action steps. The final product will be posted on the club's website at www.kiwaniscluboflombard before January 2017.
