Happy President’s Day!

Great interclub meeting today where our very own Steve Roberson performed his annual Valentine’s Day selections. Our thanks to the noon Kiwanis club for the invitation and hospitality. @kiwanisofdowney

Big thanks Linda Saldana, executive director of @downeyfoundation, for speaking to our club last week. We’re excited about all you’re doing for Downey’s youth and are grateful to the foundation for its work.

#Repost @wteenconnection Iantha and Diego did a fabulous job presenting our Unfied Programs to the @DLAKiwanis this morning! It was an honor to share our programs! #InclusionRevolution #choosetoinclude #wearesosc #SpecialOlympics #Warren #downeyunified #SONA

Our favorite meeting of the year, when we host 44 first-graders for breakfast with Santa Claus.

This was our 40th year of treating special needs students from Downey Unified to a Christmas shopping spree at JC Penney. This is why we fundraiser all year, for moments like these. Our thanks to Downey Unified, JC Penney’s, and Kiwanis members who make this tradition possible.

A belated congratulations to Claude Bilodeau on his installation as our new club president! His board includes Jim Floyd (president-elect), Hector Sosa (vice president), Maria Lilley (secretary) and Jeremy Fitzl (treasurer). @ Acapulco

Today it is with profound sadness that we join with other Kiwanians around the globe mourning the passing of Kiwanis International President Poly Lat earlier today. We send our condolences and prayers to his family, his club and his fellow Kiwanians in the Philippines.

Congratulations to our new lieutenant governor, Rose Schneeberger!

It takes a village to keep Downey gang-free.
