Kiwanis the topic at Monday's Carson City Democratic luncheon
The featured speaker at Monday's Democratic luncheon will be Bryan Bibee, representing Kiwanis International, a service club with chapters in more than 80 countries and geographic areas around the world. Affiliated clubs make up a total of 600,000 members, who raise in excess of $100 million each year and donate 18.5 million volunteer hours in support of important community projects.
Among the community projects supported by local Kiwanis clubs over the years are the annual spaghetti and pasta feeds in support of the Carson Senior Center's Meals on Wheels program. It's probably fair to say that the senior center itself woud not exist as we know it were it not for tireless fundraising efforts by Kiwanis. Other sponsorships include Carson High School's Key Club and their events, and scholarships offered to upcoming graduates for both post-secondary education and trade school.
Kiwanis also raises funds for CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates), which helps local children displaced by various reasons from their home. And the annual Carson City Kiwanis Pancreatic Cancer Awareness Day event is held at the Silver Oak Golf Course. Bryan himself is a member of both the Carson City Kiwanis and the Sierra Nevada Kiwanis clubs, and is a former district Lt Governor.
This event is scheduled for 1:00 PM on Monday, November 13th, and can be attended either in person at Black Bear Diner, inside Max Casino, or online via Zoom. Supervisor Bryan's presentation will begin after all the lunch orders have been taken, around 1:30.
