Wonderful Programs in July

On Wednesday July 9, Mike Lind will address the Rough Risers Kiwanis Club about the importance of mentoring children in the Cedar Valley.  Lind is the Executive Director of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Northeast Iowa.  

On Wednesday July 16, Tricia Wisniewski will speak to the Rough Risers Kiwanis Club about the work of CASA, Court Appointed Special Advocates.  CASA volunteers serve as the voice of abused and neglected children in court so that each child has a safe, permanent and nurturing home.  

On Wednesday July 23, Jim Newcomb of the North Cedar Neighborhood Association will speak to the Rough Risers Kiwanis Club.  The Rough Risers have provided the labor to build a new shelter for a nature area with the North Cedar Neighborhood Association.  

On Wednesday July 30, Ruth Orth of the Food Bank of Northeast Iowa will address the Rough Risers Kiwanis Club.  The Rough Risers and Kohl’s have purchased brand new book bags for the Back to School project sponsored by the Food Bank, and Kiwanis members also volunteer time helping at the Food Bank.  

BTW Last year the Rough Risers donated $39,636 to 42 organizations supporting children in the Cedar Valley. You support these children when you buy Kettlecorn at local events!
