Baby Item Collection Service Project
Help us collect baby items to be distributed by River City Food Bank. Recently, the food bank has struggled to have enough baby items available to respond to the needs in our community. Bring your items (even just a couple items) to any of our Tuesday meetings -- 1st and 3rd Tuesday lunch at Straw Hat or 2nd and 4th Tuesday coffee at Panera Café.
• Baby diapers - all sizes
• Baby food
• Milk based formula
• Baby wipes

Kiwanis Book Drive
Natomas Library. We got books donated at Straw Hat Natomas, Aim Mail Center, and PostNet. Special thanks to Karen Thomas, Friends volunteer who worked with me to coordinate the event.
It was an incredibly successful event and we look forward to repeating it in the near future.
These boxes are just a portion of the donated books.

Red and White Ball benefitting Kiwanis Family House
February 13, 2010 - 18th Annual Red & White Ball
Benefits the Kiwanis Family House
“Wine is bottled poetry” – Robert Louis Stevenson
Ahhh … imagery.
Close your eyes and slowly drink in the richness of the words: Merlot and Chardonnay. Pinot Noir and Pinot Grigio. Red and White. Kiwanis Family House.
The 18th Annual Kiwanis Family House Red and White Ball will be held at the Old Sugar Mill in Clarksburg on Saturday, February 13, 2010. This evening of semi-formal dress, fine food & wine with the stylized smooth jazz sound of Marcelle, begins at 6:30pm.
Carvalho Family Winery has generously donated their Galeria do Vinho and Barrel Room to Kiwanians for our very special event. Tickets are $47.50/each and includes dinner. Dinner will be catered with a choice of prime rib, salmon or vegetarian lasagna. Carvalho Family wines and soft drinks will be available at our no-host bar.
Bring your best smile with you! Carvalho Family Winery’s barrel room will be transformed into a raffle extravaganza with a photographer available to capture the Valentine evening with you and your date.
All sponsoring clubs are encouraged to provide a raffle item of $25 or more. For those outlying clubs where it may not be convenient to send a raffle item, please consider sending $25 or more to KFH marked “Red&White Raffle”. A raffle item will be purchased in your club’s name.
