Kiwanis Welcomes New Members

The Kiwanis Club of Marco Island is delighted to announce and welcome our two newest members, Arne and Jill Sandberg. When this dynamic duo moved to Marco Island four years ago, they hit the ground running and haven’t stopped since!

Jill hails from De Pere, Wisconsin, a suburb of Green Bay. She is happily retired and enjoys every moment of life on Marco Island. She is a member of the Newcomers Club, serving on the Board as Special Events Coordinator. She also serves on the Boards of the Fire Foundation and Noontime Rotary (serving as Social Chair), and the Board of Christmas Island Style. You may have seen Jill and Arne in their role as Santa’s elves at various Christmas Island Style activities.

Arne, originally from Milwaukee, works full time as the Vice President of new business development for PPC Prototype Packaging, LLC, based in Hartland, Wisconsin. He is the Social Chair on the Board of Sunrise Rotary, one of the Vice Presidents of the Marco Island Men’s Club, one of the Directors of the Marco Island Police Foundation, a member of the Marco Island Chamber of Commerce, and serves on the Board of Christmas Island Style. He is a member of the National Confectioners Association Supplier Board and the National Confectionery Sales Association.

The Sandberg’s are both members of the Green Bay Yacht Club.

When asked why they decided to join the Kiwanis Club, they laughingly said that Kiwanis Co-President Mike Murphy coerced them. However, when the truth came out, Arne admitted that he had been a member of Kiwanis back in Milwaukee. Now, Arne and Jill want to do all they can for the children of our local communities.

Serving the children of the world! That is the motto of Kiwanis International. We are so glad that Arne and Jill Sandberg have joined us in that mission right here on Marco Island! 

Wouldn’t you like to join us, too? We would love to have you! Please join us at one of our upcoming meetings. For more information, please contact club secretary Cindy Crane at lucindaed@aol.com, visit https://marcokiwanis.org. or scan our QR code.
