Euclid Kiwanis supports community and sponsors Poor Man's Raffle

Euclid Kiwanis is looking for a few good men and women to continue supporting projects in the community.  Time and age is taking its toll on various organizations and we are all dwindling in number and increasing in age.  We welcome anyone who would like to join us at Euclid Hospital’s Lake Erie Room on the 2nd and 4th Wednesday of each month. 

We usually eat our evening meal at the hospital cafeteria, and if you want to join us, you must get through the line before it closes at 6:30 pm.  We then conduct our meeting, with laughter as one of the more important items on the agenda.  We do have fun.  We also get a lot done for our community, with ongoing projects throughout the year. 

Here is a quick glimpse of what we do: awarded four graduating Euclid seniors $1,000 scholarships; support a Terrific Kids Program with two of the pre-schools in the city, and Mary Mavec Opportunity School (for the past 70 years); partner with the Euclid Police Department to furnish safe seats and teddy bears; give 100 gift certificates to needy school children for Boots and Shoes with the Payless Shoe Source each fall; and sponsor the Euclid High School Key Club.

Sound like a lot of work?  It’s not, because of the cooperation, dedication and service by all the members. Our work is not done, though. We are sponsoring a Poor Man's Raffle, with an $800 jackpot, at the Euclid Square Mall July 9. There is an open invitation for you to attend; a mere $15 donation includes a terrific spaghetti and meatball dinner and a lot of fun. Doors open at 5:30 pm. For more information or tickets, call (216) 261-2620 or (216) 299-6798.
