Andrew Lee
Governor’s Project 2013-2014
Serving the Students of the Southwest
In continuing with his Eagle Scout Project
and combining it with Kiwanis’ motto of
“Serving the Children of the World”,
Andrew Lee’s Governor’s Project is aimed
at elementary schools, “Serving the
Students of the Southwest”. Many schools
are receiving less funding, creating unmet
needs. As members of the Kiwanis
Family, it is our duty to do our best to
fulfill those needs!
CKI clubs should visit their local elementary school and identify a need by September.
With permission from the principal and the benefitting department faculty, CKI clubs
should fulfill that need. Example projects could include: a book drive, clothing drive,
school supplies drive, reading program (Serina Pack’s Tomorrow Fund project), school
repairs, gardening, planting trees, or donating scooter boards (Governor Lee’s Eagle
Scout Project). The diversity of the schools will determine their needs, but these are
some ideas that clubs could suggest. In addition, use this opportunity to connect with
local Key Clubs and Kiwanis Clubs! Start a Terrific Kids or K-Kids together! If money is an
issue, apply for grants such as the Disney Friends of Change, Youth Services America, or
CKI Tomorrow Fund.
CKI clubs should aim to complete at least one project for a school. However, the more
the better! Please be sure to document the club projects through hours and photographs!
They will be displayed at District Convention and your CKI clubs will be recognized for
their great efforts!
This is a wonderful way to give back to your communities. Contact your old elementary
schools and visit past teachers! Let them know what you’ve done after elementary
school, let them know about the impact you’ve had in your communities, and let them
know how much they’ve influenced you to be the amazing individuals you are today, all
while Serving the Students of the Southwest!
Please do not hesitate to contact your Lieutenant Governors or Governor Lee
([email protected]) if you have any questions or concerns!
Happy Serving!
