Kiwanis Club of Marco Island met on November 14th at Speakeasy for our Installation BBQ dinner. President Pat Hagedorn welcomed everyone to our BBQ and gave an overview of the past year’s accomplishments.  

During the 2019-2020 year, we participated in or donated to Kiwanis Foundation, Meals of Hope, Terrific Kids, Reading is Fundamental, Marco Island Academy Key Club Scholarships, Toys for Kids, Christmas in July, Sterling Center-foster Kids to Disney World, Souperbowl, Great Naples Duck Race, Marco Island Nature Preserve, Celtic Dancers Car Show Participation, Marco Island Academy Glee Club, Collier Comes Together, and the Eliminate Project to eradicate neonatal tetanus. Members of the club also worked the polls during elections and participated in beach cleanups. During October meetings, members donated food to Al’s Pals and the Food Pantry, and we donated 40 costumes to the Center for Abused Women & Children in Naples.  

Our main fundraisers which allowed us to do all this were our 5K Run, Car Show, and Texas Hold’em Poker Tournament.  

President Hagedorn then introduced Florida Kiwanis Lt. Governor Jeanette Igoe who performed the induction of new member Melanie Boyd and installed our new President Lucky Lang as well as the new Board members present.  

Kiwanis Club of Marco Island was founded in 1993, and our mission is to improve the world one community and one child at a time. We meet on Thursday mornings at 7 AM for a breakfast meeting at Stonewalls. If you would like to join this worthwhile club, we would love to have you.
