kiwanis club of galena

Mayor Terry Renner and City Manager Mike Moran updated members on things going on with the City of Galena. We presented them with a check representing funds raised from this year’s River Trail Run which will go towards upgrading the improvements to one of the playgrounds a the Alice T. Virtue Recreational Park.

This week we found out more about how the local Rotary Club participates in serving our community. Pictured here, Jim Berberet and Andy Willis gave us some backgound on how their club operates and told us about their bi-annual fundraisers, the Chopper Drop and Auction, which raise funds to do good in Galena. They meet twice a month at the DeSoto House for lunch.

Their guiding principles include the 4 way Test:

1. Is it the TRUTH?
2. Is it FAIR to all concerned?
3. Will it build GOODWILL and BETTER FRIENDSHIPS?
4. Will it be BENEFICIAL to all concerned?

On Tuesday we welcomed members of Kiwanis Clubs from Dubuque and Maquoketa Iowa. Lt. Governor Yvonne Mallery addressed the group and brought us up to date on II District news and we all shared what each club is doing for service projects in their respective communities.
