Service projects may be a bit more difficult but certainly not impossible during a pandemic – and Kiwanis proved it yet again! It just happens to be National Reading Month, so on March 4 and 5, very small groups of 4-5 volunteers spread way out at the Karen McLaughlin Hall at the Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church to pack books, books, and more books for the African Library Project.

The National Wildlife Federation’s Ranger Rick International Photo Competition selected his photo, “Rip-Roaring Cat” showing a jaguar balancing on a branch, that Aditya took while on a trip with his family to the Pantanal, Brazil, the world’s largest wetland, in the summer of 2019.
