Kiwanis of South Whidbey donate to nonprofits

The Kiwanis of South Whidbey shelled out nearly $5,000 to Whidbey Island nonprofits. Groups representing help for recent mothers, performing arts and hospital care benefited from the Kiwanis this year. The fellowship group is dedicated to aiding children and each year raises funds from its fireworks stand in Clinton for scholarships and annual donations. “It was really good,” said Bob Welch, the club’s president. “Our goal is still the same: To help families and children, one child at a time. Change the community and change the child.” - Photo courtesy of Kiwanis of South Whidbey
