\u201cThe energy, commitment and camaraderie surrounding this single day of worldwide hands-on service is so gratifying for our members as they make an immediate, measurable impact on our local community,\u201d said Karen Warfle, club president.<\/p>\n
\u201cKiwanis One Day also provides an opportunity for community members to join in the fun and is a great way to show who we are and what we do and provide an opportunity for them to join us as a new member,\u201d added Warfle.<\/p>\n
Kiwanis One Day was designated by Kiwanis International to unite youth and adult members from different parts of the Kiwanis family in service together.<\/p>\n
