After signing a contract to adopt Blackwell’s Pond Park in Carson City, Kiwanis of Sierra Nevada Past-President Lee Pisiewski organized seven other members to to trim weeds and rake up at the park on Saturday, July 31.
” This is a beautiful neighborhood park. Today, our members got their hands dirty improving this park for the neighbors,” Pisiewski said.
The clean up event wasn’t the first nor the last for the active Kiwanis group. Pisiewski and Bryan Bisbee were the ones who helped kick off the very first Carson River clean up project in 1990, which has grown in size, scope with other community groups contributing.
Kiwanis of Sierra Nevada meet the second and fourth Wednesdays evenings of each month at the Elk’s Lodge at 5:30 and Kiwanis of Carson City meet every Thursday noon at Casino Fandango.
