Kiwanis Club of Marco Island has had a very busy December. First, the December meeting was held at Cape Marco where they celebrated the holiday season with refreshments and a gift exchange. Fun was had by all!

In Kiwanis, the mission is to make the world a better place, one child at a time, and one way to do this is to make sure that all the kids get a Christmas present. The focus this year was on the Manatee Elementary School where Kiwanis recently made sure that all 700 children got a visit and gift from Santa. Kiwanian members sold 50/50 raffle tickets at both CJ's on the Bay and Stan's to raise money to purchase these gifts. The proceeds along with several very generous donations made this possible. On December 11, several Kiwanis members along with several Marco Island Academy Key Club members spent time at Walmart to purchase these gifts. On December 13 Kiwanis was out in full force along with Santa and Mrs. Claus at Manatee Elementary School to distribute these gifts to the kids.
