On February 24th, 2015 The Kiwanis Club of
Pekin will be donating nearly $6,000 to 8 different local organizations. The
organizations include the Boys and Girls Club of Pekin, The Center for
Prevention of Abuse, YWCA of Pekin, Crittendon Centers, Shade Park, Pekin Main
Street, TCRC and Tazewell County Children's Advocacy Center. All of these
organizations will have representatives at the meeting and will be honored with
lunch and then a check presentation.
The General public is welcome (and encouraged) to attend the
lunch and we would like to invite the local media to the event as well, to
highlight the great work that these organizations are doing for our
community....More importantly our children.

Club and the check presentations should start around 12:20. There will be
time for photos and interviews as each of the organizations receive their
checks.
