OUR VOICE COUNTS<\/b><\/p>\n

My family moved to the Wood River Valley in late October 2020. Coming to a small town was a hard transition, especially for my kids. As the COVID restrictions lifted, we were struggling to figure out activities and events for our children to party in. We crossed paths with Herbert and Mary Romero at a Spanish Heritage event in town. They were so welcoming, generous, and hospitable! They began inviting us to other events in town, a lot of which was put on by our local Kiwanis club. All of the members we have come in contact with do an amazing job to make the community feel welcome and invited at these events. I know it makes such a difference for our youth. My kids look forward to these events every year.<\/span><\/p>\n

I was able to present a proposal this year for Syringa Mountain School. At that meeting I had the opportunity to hear others present their proposals. It gave me a broader perspective of what Kiwanis does and represents. I am honored to know members of the committee and to understand that the values of Kiwanis are part of who they are as a whole\u2014compassionate, loving, caring, inspiring, and present. I appreciate all that Kiwanis continues to do for our Valley and I know it is a gift to our youth to have these community events.<\/span><\/p>\n

NUESTRA VOZ CUENTA<\/b><\/p>\n

Mi familia se mud\u00f3 al valle de Wood River a fines de octubre de 2020. Llegar a un pueblo peque\u00f1o fue una transici\u00f3n dif\u00edcil, especialmente para mis hijos. Cuando se levantaron las restricciones por el COVID, nos cost\u00f3 encontrar actividades y eventos en los que nuestros hijos pudieran participar. Nos cruzamos con Herbert y Mary Romero en un evento de Spanish Heritage en el pueblo. \u00a1Fueron muy acogedores, generosos y hospitalarios! Comenzaron a invitarnos a otros eventos en el pueblo, muchos de los cuales fueron organizados por nuestro club Kiwanis local. Todos los miembros con los que nos hemos puesto en contacto hacen un trabajo incre\u00edble para que la comunidad se sienta bienvenida e invitada a estos eventos. S\u00e9 que marca una gran diferencia para nuestros j\u00f3venes. Mis hijos esperan con ansias estos eventos todos los a\u00f1os.<\/span><\/p>\n

Pude presentar una propuesta este a\u00f1o para Syringa Mountain School. En esa reuni\u00f3n tuve la oportunidad de escuchar a otros presentar sus propuestas. Me dio una perspectiva m\u00e1s amplia de lo que hace y representa Kiwanis. Me siento honrado de conocer a los miembros del comit\u00e9 y comprender que los valores de Kiwanis son parte de quienes son en su conjunto: compasivos, cari\u00f1osos, solidarios, inspiradores y presentes. Aprecio todo lo que Kiwanis sigue haciendo por nuestro Valle y s\u00e9 que es un regalo para nuestros j\u00f3venes tener estos eventos comunitarios.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
