We are beginning a new and exciting project in which we will honor our police men and women by gifting them tickets to local events. But first we have to obtain those tickets from the event site. We are beginning the solicitation and need your help.. When soliciting it is best to know a name or have a contact person to the organization. . Do you know the main contact person for any of the following venues. Additional suggestions of venues with contacts are welcome. Southwest Events Center Memorial Hall Tinseltown Theaters Bowling Alleys State Fair Brues Alehouse Any Other Restaurants Other suggestions Either print out your suggestions or contact either Gordon Racine, Jim Wiley, Nancy Hall or Jim Morgan.
We have a great club. We love it. We love it in so many ways as we serve the children of our community and around the world. So why not share it? Invite someone to visit a meeting or participate in a project. We could have an even more dynamic club.

Support for the Pueblo Kiwanis Foundation
The foundation invites you to participate in the great programs we support by making taxdeductible contributions. Some of our members do it on a regular monthly basis and have it charged to their accounts. Your gifts can be designated for the orthodontia program, for scholarships, or remain undesignated. The increased giving can sustain the work of the foundation over the years, and help in the expanding of our outreach. Your foundation is dedicated to providing for the needs of our community’s children.
