the last couple of years. This is an excellent use of the Club’s money in the community.

Example of a Hands On Projects 

Laura’s House joint project

On Sunday, April 29, 2000 we had a special opportunity to be part of a hands on service project. Laura’s House in San Clemente is in need of house repairs, storage room clean-up, and thrift shop improvements.

This project is a direct result of the joint meeting between the Kiwanis and Lions clubs in January. At that meeting we proposed that we jointly do some hands-on service projects within the local community. Cory Bream, President of the Lions Club and Ed Mitchel, President of the Kiwanis, have been very enthusiastic about this joint effort as I have been. They have committed their respective clubs to share the costs and workers to complete the repairs.

 Repair tasks include:

·          Thrift Store-Display Shelving

·          Storage Building-Needs manpower to organize and catalogue household furniture.

·          House Repair-Loose stair banister;
