*** Schedule of Meetings, Vol Opps, and Events for March/April:
Friday-Saturday-Sunday, March 3-5: The Capital District is gathering for its Mid-Year Conference (https://k03.site.kiwanis.org/2023midyear/) at the Hyatt Regency in Crystal City, Va (near Reagan Airport). Follow the hyper link for more information, especially registration and hotel info. This year’s meeting will be held in conjunction with the Capital District CKI Convention. Several Charlottesville Kiwanians will have very active roles in this meeting. Registration is easy through the hyper-link and hotel reservations ($120/night) are going fast, so act now. All info is at the hyper-link or check with Eric Lamb or Dennis Baugh. I hope we can have an “inter-club” or maybe even a “double inter-club.”
Monday, March 6, 6:30 p.m. Speaker Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church, 211 Albemarle Street, Charlottesville VA 22903, in the historic Tenth & Page Street Neighborhood. “Kiwanis Key Club Appreciation Night.” Our speaker will be Lily Simpson, a Monticello High School Key Clubber who co-founded Cville Sock Love, “providing fun, uplifting socks to hospitalized children and under-resourced people as well.” I have asked Lily to bring along other Monticello HS Key Clubbers, and I will extend this invitation to the leaders of the three other Key Clubs we sponsor, so we can meet them and in an informal way hear about all the good service projects they are conducting in our community. Stay tuned for more details.

Monday, March 13, 6 p.m., is our March club board meeting. This meeting will be on ZOOM and the link will be provided to Kiwanis members along with the agenda in the weekly missive.

Monday, March 20, 6:30 p.m. Speaker Meeting at Pilgrim Baptist Church, 211 Albemarle Street, Charlottesville VA 22903, in the historic Tenth & Page Street Neighborhood. Speaker will be Mr. Troy Robinson, Team Collaborator, and a leader of the Fountain Fund Emergency Assistance Program. The Fountain Fund is a 501 (c) 3) agency that “provides low-interest loans and financial coaching to formerly incarcerated people, helping them build credit and achieve their self-determined goals.” Mr. Robinson will focus his remarks on the devastating impact that incarceration of moms and dads has on the children and families in our community and how the successful re-entry of formerly incarcerated people can make a big difference in improving the lives of everyone in our community.

Ronald McDonald House Cville
Monday, March 27, 6:00 p.m. — Our fourth Monday is a service work night. This month we will gather at Ronald McDonald House Charities Charlottesville (300 9th St SW, Charlottesville, VA 22903). RMHC is a wonderful local agency whose mission is “to offer families a refuge, a place where they can find comfort, as they face one of life’s most unimaginable challenges: caring for a child who is seriously ill.” The plan is to paint two wrought iron tables and chairs that they have on the back deck and patio. We hope to rally sufficient volunteers to do other jobs (such as a mailing or cleaning, organizing toys, etc.) for those who are not comfortable with painting. As always, a picnic-style dinner will be provided after we finish our work.
***Monday, April 10, 6 p.m., is our April club board meeting. This meeting will be on ZOOM and the link will be provided to Kiwanis members along with the agenda in the weekly missive.
