Health & WelfarePartnered with the First Open Heart Society, we purchased a heart defibulator for the BC Ambulance Service.We've donated several thousand dollars to the Campbell River and District General Hospital, Vancouver Children's Hospital, and Carhi Infant & Toddler Centre. We paid $3,000 to remodel a room at the Yuculta Lodge, an Intermediate Care facility for seniors, and purchased an electrical board for the facility. We perform many services for the Carhi Infant & Toddler Centre. We've supported African countries. We continue to support IDD–three of our members received Mel Osbourne Awards this year. |

Salvation Army Christmas DinnerOne of our ongoing projects is providing the Christmas dinner for the Salvation Army drop-in centre.The club raises the funds to purchase the ingredients for the meal, and as a group, gets together to prepare, cook and serve the meal. For the past three Christmases we have served an average 200 meals during this event. Christmas 1998 was a record year for the number of meals served–225 meals in three hours. We ran out of everything. This year, a number of non-Kiwanians donated food for the party. We've also built shelves for the salvation Army drop-in centre and manned the Christmas kettles. |
