Kindersley Kinsmen & Kinette Club’s donate to local school projects
By Joan Janzen
The Kinsmen and Kinette Club of Kindersley have recently made donations to three local schools: Westberry Elementary School, Elizabeth Middle School and KCS. These funds are to support school improvement projects and are made possible because of the amazing support received for the club’s fundraisers.
Recently the presidential gavel was passed on to new Kin President Lisa Kirtzinger, whose term began in July 2021. “This is an energetic group of people who all have one thing in common ... to make Kindersley a better place through acts of service or donation,” she said.
The group has been involved with Meals on Wheels, the food bank, Blood Donor Clinic, and working at Junior Klipper games. They also do fundraising to help causes within their community, such as the Crisis Centre, Food Bank, West Central Abilities, and local schools. The province’s annual Kinsmen TeleMiracle and the National Kin cause of Cystic Fibrosis also receive the group’s support.
“Our club has been very creative in our fundraisers, and we are so grateful for the support from members of the community and surrounding areas,” Lisa said. Some of their past fundraisers included Booze Survivors, Duck Derby, annual Christmas tree sales and their Mother’s Day Dine-in meal.
The club is strong and is looking for new members who want to add fun, fellowship, and community service to their life experiences. They meet the first Thursday of each month in the curling rink lounge at 7:00 p.m. Guests are welcome to come and see what they’re all about.
