We need at least 4 people for the bike trail clean up. We are responsible for just under two miles of the bike trail from the Highway 85 underpass to Maple Road. Clear Water Kiwanis has a plaque on the trail, so we want it to look nice. We will meet at the Hwy 85 rest area. Please bring gloves and wear jeans and socks, as there has been a lot of poison ivy along the edges of the trail in past years.

Dinner will follow the clean-up at the 4-Mile Restaurant & Bar (formerly Smith’s Country Inn) at S5786 Hwy 37. We will be at the restaurant by about 6:00-6:15 p.m.

Speaker: Claire Ystebo, Eau Claire Parks and Rec

On June 5 you are invited to join Clearwater Kiwanis for our regular meeting and program, with a presentation titled, “Kiwanis – A Place Where Everyone Belongs”.  Club member Ann Kaiser will be presenting information from Kiwanis International that has recently been shared by Past Governor, Bill Abbott. 

As we think about how to help our Clubs to remain active, grow and serve our communities, it’s also important to think about how we are welcoming new members and creating a sense of belonging in our Clubs.  This presentation will provide food for thought about whether there are ways we can do things differently to remain relevant to those in our community who want to engage in Kiwanis service. 

From 4-8 on Wednesday, June 5, mention "Fore the Kid's" at the Burrachos on Prill Road and they will donate 25% of their sales to the Fore the Kids golf event! 

Bring a chair and come listen to the Thundermen!
