Mt.
Airy Kiwanis Supports Home Safety
by Bill Butts
In an effort to reinforce the importance of home safety
in area homes with young children, the Kiwanis Club of
Mt. Airy
recently provided 250 sets of Kiwanis Home Safety Checklist
booklets and electric outlet plugs during October to St
James Preschool. Delivering the materials to Pat Castle,
PreSchool
Director for St. James Preschool (center of photo) are
Mt. Airy Kiwanians: Angie Moore (Left) and Beth Jacobs
(Right).
This is a "plug
and play" opportunity available from KI, and club YCP1 committees are especially encouraged
to take local advantage of these materials.
Many individuals join Kiwanis clubs specifically because we are an international
organization with a global mission-that lofty goal of changing
the world one child and one community at a time. To this
point, with a few notable exceptions, our Capital District
clubs seem to have focused on local efforts directed toward
helping our own children and communities. This is commendable,
but it does not address the incredible needs of children
worldwide...Accordingly,
our District Committee on International Understanding has
decided to pursue a new approach
to achieving our global mission. We have selected Africa because its needs are great and most of us know extremely
little about this part of the world...
