IMPROVING THE WORLD ONE CHILD AND ONE COMMUNITY AT A TIME

THE KIWANIS MISSION

Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.

Kiwanis clubs and individual Kiwanians complete the mission in a variety of ways, and as they are able. Kiwaniscope in this space will celebrate the many ways the Kiwanis Club of Weston and its members are living the Kiwanis mission.

In the next several issues, Kiwaniscope celebrates the service of Past President Rick Amill's reading this year to teacher Katie DeFranco’s first-grade students at Thomas Hooker Elementary School K-8 school in Bridgeport.

Nearby, you see a thank you note to Rick from a grateful first grader at the end of this year's classes.

Rick has read at Thomas Hooker at least two times per month for more than seven years

In the past, Rick has read at various grade levels at two other elementary schools in Bridgeport, plus at the district-wide Read Aloud Day.

Kiwaniscope is published for members and friends weekly on Thursday mornings September through June by the Kiwanis Club of Weston, Connecticut, Inc.
