Dear Community Member,

You’re invited to join us for an evening of good food, great company, and community connection at the Parkland-Spanaway Kiwanis Open House & Picnic! See attached flyer if you like.

 Date: Wednesday, July 30th, 2025
 Time: 6:30 PM
 Location: Parkland Community Center
214 121st St S, Tacoma, WA 98444

We’ll be honoring our current members, welcoming new faces, and sharing the exciting ways Kiwanis is making a difference in our community — all over a casual picnic dinner. Whether you’ve heard of Kiwanis before or are just learning about us, we’d love to have you there.

Kiwanis is a global volunteer organization dedicated to serving the children of the world, one child and one community at a time. Our local club is actively involved in programs that support youth and strengthen Parkland-Spanaway, including:

• Key Clubs in high schools – student-led service leadership
• Terrific Kids & BUG (Bring Up Grades) in elementary schools – celebrating character and academic improvement
• Support of the Parkland Community Center – one of our key projects, where we helped secure and restore the historic Parkland School to create a vibrant hub for the community

We’re also looking for new voices, fresh ideas, and community members just like you who want to get involved. Whether you have a little time or a lot, your presence can help shape our future efforts.

Please save the date — July 30th — and RSVP to help us plan.
Feel free to reach out with any questions at juliecollison@comcast.net or give me a call at 253-906-8751.

We hope to see you there!

Yours in service,
Julie Collison
