A Captured Moment From This Past Week…

It was inspiring to see these four students present to the Sherwood School District Board of Education last Monday night. They shared details about Builders Club from the international to the local level. They also showcased this past year and all the projects that they have been doing to better the lives of others… from their first project to raise funds for Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF to their last project to do Random Acts of Kindness around school.

Do You Know How Many Countries Offer Builders Club to Their Students? (answer will be at the end.)

• Just to give you a heads-up… the Kiwanis of Tigard See’s Candies Mother’s Day
  fundraiser will begin TODAY. The link will shortly be on our website. But you
  can also reach it by clicking HERE. Remember that this is an opportunity to
  purchase candy for your loved ones for this special occasion, and at the same
  time, help our Kiwanis Club with a fundraiser. The items you order will be
  delivered directly to your doorstep… another plus! This fundraiser closes on
  May 2nd, allowing for plenty of time for delivery before Mother’s Day.
• It looks like we have thirteen members planning to go to McMenamins on
  Tuesday, April 22nd to support the Kiwanis of Cedar Hills Imagine Possibilities
  project. The address is: 6179 SW Murray Blvd., Beaverton. We have a

  who live with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
