During our regular Kiwanis meeting president Clare led the membership in the training on youth protection while serving as volunteers. This affects almost all members so it is crucial that everyone is aware. Here is the PDF version of her presentation.
Our Club Procedures also cover the Youth Protection guidelines as well as our policy on use of social media. You can find these below or in our club procedures and bylaws section.
Kiwanis member Kathy Jordan hands out a cheque for $1000 to Glenn Smith, Water Festival Committee Chair of the Chatham-Kent and Lambton Water Festival. Several Kiwanis members helped out at the different stations this year. Thank you also to cGaming who made this cheque possible.
The syllabus for the 80th annual Chatham Kiwanis Music Festival is now available for download. Free hard copies are available at the local music shops. Registrations will be accepted as of November 15 at our Music Festival Suite webpage.
As you may know, a national postal strike went into effect at midnight last night. We want to reassure you that the October Imagination Library books have already been processed and are ready for mailing . As soon as the strike concludes, our fulfillment partner will prioritize getting these books into the mail stream as quickly as possible, as they did earlier in 2025 when this previously occurred.
It’s important to note that all mail service in Canada is impacted by this strike. Any books that accumulate during this time will still be delivered once regular postal operations resume.
We encourage you to continue your local operations as normal; book processing and mailing will resume as usual once mail service is restored.
Thank you for your patience and continued support.
