The next club meeting is January 3, 2017 at 9:00 AM in the Community Room at Frasier Meadows Retirement Center. There ill be a Round Table Discussion, Board of Directors’ Meeting and may be nuts and bolts assembling.
For too many of the 90 kids at the Breakfast with Santa hosted by the Appleton-Fox Cities (Wisconsin) Kiwanis Club, this would be the only time they would get a gift during the holiday season. Their immediate futures are in flux. The kids, who range in age from infants to teenagers, are homeless—living in shelters because of various family circumstances. Some of their parents are fleeing domestic abuse situations. Others have fallen on hard times.
