Kiwanis Club of Owego will help beautify an area of our local community on Saturday, October 24 from 9AM – 11AM at the Kiwanis Circle on Route 17C, near McDonald’s in the Town of Owego.
The activities are part of Kiwanis One Day, a global day of service that unites the entire Kiwanis family, including Kiwanis and Key Club. On the fourth Saturday of October — this year on October 24 — volunteers in Owego will join Kiwanians around the world as they all devote a time to hands-on service.
Kiwanis International estimates that the annual Kiwanis One Day event will contribute nearly 1 million service hours to communities around the world in just 24 hours.
“The 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,” said Karen Warfle, Club President. “Kiwanis 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,” said Warfle.
Kiwanis One Day was designated by Kiwanis International to unite youth and adult members from different parts of the Kiwanis family in service together.
