Dec. 20, 2008: The whole week was focused on completing our mission of Feeding the Needy Families of our service area (and beyond). Our Key Clubs and our Circle K made the difference in our ability to distribute 156 families' holiday food -- a frozen turkey, fresh vegetables and fruit, and at least 2 boxes of canned food (collected by our Walnut H.S. Key Club). The tears in some of these families' eyes is enough to let you know you have done the right thing. In addition, Key Club members, Circle K members and Kiwanis Club members helped that week at Isaiah's Rock, where, on Sunday, Dec. 21, 2008, 1,600+ families were given food for their Christmas tables, as well as gender- and age-specific toys to let their kids have something under the tree.
October 25, 2008: Starting off our 45th Administrative Year, the Walnut Valley Kiwanis held it's 36th Annual Pancake Breakfast, working with the Rowland Heights Buckboard Days. We hope you joined us, just south of Colima Rd., on Nogales. See item 9, below. What a great community parade. We started serving at 7 a.m., and the parade started at 9 a.m. Colima Road was closed from 7 a.m. to 12 noon, between Nogales and Banida.
