USASOA – Christmas Cards and Gifts For Our Troops
Once again, our Kiwanis Club was able to rally together to help out the USASOA in sending some much-needed Holiday Spirit to our Troops overseas!!!
The USASOA is a Military and Veteran Service Organization and Nonprofit – the mission of USASOA has been to provide for the care and comfort of our service members and veterans of every age and period of service.
We worked together to sign over 100 Christmas and Holiday cards that this amazing organization puts together to send out to all of our Men and Women fighting to make this world a better place for all of us!!
Additionally, this year, we also gathered a HUGE box of goods that the USASOA puts together into care packages to send overseas as well. On their web-site, they have what they call “The Heroes List” which is a list of items that are most requested by the troops, especially those are located in remote locations or forward operating bases.
We are so honored to be part of a grateful nation that helps to ensure that our brave service members are not forgotten as they defend our freedom and our great nation.
If you or your organization are interested in helping out next year, please feel free to check out their web-site by clicking the link below.
Here are a couple photos showing some of the cards and care package items we sent to them!
A Tasty Fundraiser
This Spring, our Kiwanis Club had our second most successful fundraiser since we have been in existence.
Our club member, Jan Booker, had heard that service clubs and organizations could partner with their local Texas Roadhouse Restaurant to sell their FAMOUS Rolls as a popular fundraising idea.
The concept is simple:
Step 1. The club members take orders for the rolls by the dozen (rolls will be frozen)
Step 2. When completed, the club gives their local Texas Roadhouse the totals (rolls and their famous cinnamon honey butter)
Step 3. Texas Roadhouse makes the rolls and prepares everything for pick-up
Step 4. The club picks up the rolls and delivers them to members who in turn deliver them to their customers
Step 5. Texas Roadhouse makes money and the club makes a decent percentage of the sales
Our club, in just a short period of time, sold enough rolls to make over $750.00. This money will be put to such good use in helping the kids in our area and the kids around the world.
KIDS NEED KIWANIS
Kiwanis is the safety net that creates opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live.
Kiwanis is a positive influence in locations worldwide with a dream that all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.
