  SERVICE PROJECTS FOR 2008-2009

Gingerbread Party
This project is being revamped this year by the chair/chairs of this event.  Our idea is to cut back on the amount of gifts given to each child and to solicit those gifts/shopping cards from the public at large so that we do not spend JA money on gifts.  Hours will be gained by chairing and planning certain aspects of this large project, working at the actual event, providing items for the event, and by helping prepare food baskets for the families.  A.M. & P.M. hours. Week days & Weekends.

Hygiene Kits
This project will help children at a local elementary school with Hygiene products.  We would like to solicit supplies from our members and the community by hosting a “supply drive.”

Reading Is Fun (RIF)
Details on this project are yet to be determined, but our idea is to buddy up the Downtown Kiwanis in this effort.

Focus Family: Baby Kane
This project includes providing the basic necessities such as food during times of crisis, school supplies, school clothes, gifts, phone cards or gift cards according to specific needs. Hours would be gained by preparing meal items, and shopping or and purchasing specific items as determined by the chairs.  A.M. and P.M. hours.  Week days and Weekends.

Rivers & Spires
This project will require a similar commitment to that of this year.  We would be involved in the children’s area furnishing games, crafts or other exciting activities for the children of our community.  We will produce a JA flyer showcasing our organization and our commitment to children of Clarksville/Montgomery County. Hours will be obtained by preparing/providing items needed for the games or activities and by working at the actual event.  A.M. and  P.M. hours needed. Week days and Weekends.

Coats for Kids
This project involves collecting coats (both new and gently used) for children ages 0 to 18. Coats collected will be donated to Montgomery County Department of Children's Services for distribution at their discretion.

Hospital Books
Details are yet to be determined by the chair and her volunteers.  We would like to provide books at Gateway Medical Center that the children will take home when they leave.
