Kiwanis receive money

The Kiwanis Club of La Conner received a check at their May 17 meeting from the Mount Vernon Kiwanis Noon Club.  The check for $3,975. was for the many shifts of work La Conner did for the Annual Salmon BBQ.  The BBQ is held in April each year in junction with the Skagit Valley Tulip Festival and the money will help fund our student scholarships.  Diane Fox from the Noon Club was excited to hand the check to Jack Fankhauser (far right), Vice President of the club.  Two members of the Noon Club came along to assist Diane.

Kiwanis Dine out for Kids is Back

La Conner Seafood & Prime Rib has taken up the cause and is supporting the monthly Kiwanis Dine out for Kids.  The first Wednesday of the month stop into Seafood & Prime Rib between 5 and 7 p.m.  Be sure to let them know you are there for the kids of La Conner.  They have a $10 menu from which they will donate a portion of the proceeds to Kiwanis.  If you don’t see anything there you like, order off the regular menu and a portion of those proceeds will be donated to Kiwanis.  What an easy way to help out the kids of La Conner!  See you there.
