Local Kiwanis club celebrating 60 years
The Kiwanis Club of Kirkland will celebrate 60 years of service to the children of their community by hosting a special evening on May 30 from 6-11 p.m. at the Bear Creek Golf and Country Club.
The event will commemorate the dedicated service of its members and will introduce this club’s first auction in support of a community service project. Kirkland Kiwanis will donate all the proceeds to the Lake Washington Schools Foundation (LWSF), benefiting students throughout Kirkland, Redmond and Sammamish, in the upcoming school year.
There will be a social hour, dinner, program, auction, fun and games, and will end with music and dancing for everyone to enjoy.
Registration for the event is $60 per person and is being handled by Marjorie Crichton at (425) 444-7387 or mncrichton@comcast.net.
