The Kiwanis Club is always thinking of ways to improve its community, and June was one of the club’s busiest months.

Kiwanis Club of Gulfport June Events

In early June, the Gulfport Pride Festival selected the Kiwanis Club of Gulfport as one of two beneficiaries of this year’s festival. According to the club, members attended the downtown festival and handed out rainbow-themed Pride beads and Pride-themed tattoo stickers.

Not long after, the Kiwanis Club held its fourth annual Juneteenth Celebration featuring the Woodson African American Museum of Florida. Along with rhythmic assistance from the Kuumba Dancers and Drummers. The Juneteenth event took place at the Gulfport Casino Ballroom on June 15.

According to the club, the celebration included an interactive, three-hour event for youth to highlight the traditions and importance of Juneteenth.

June Awards for the Future

In addition, the Florida Kiwanis Foundation awarded the Gulfport club a $750 grant. The grant will go toward the next service project on the calendar, Duffel Bags for Foster Children.

This project encourages children to use duffel bags instead of the trash bags they often use to carry their belongings when they move. The Kiwanis Club will invite the public to decorate approximately 25-30 duffel bags. Once they are decorated, the club will donate the bags to organizations that work closely with foster children in Pinellas County.

Return in June

June was the month where we gave something back to this club.

The Kiwanis Club of Gulfport announced that the club will award $250 each quarter to an organization in the Pinellas community.

When the quarter ended on June 30, club members selected The Kind Mouse Productions, Inc. as the quarterly recipient. The Kind Mouse Productions, Inc. provides food to children and families who are food insecure, living in food deserts, and in the foster care system.

Kiwanis Club of Gulfport President Diana Schwarz, Treasurer Angela Pietras and Director Cheryl Cashdollar personally presented a check and certificate to the organization in St. Petersburg.
