Members of the Cicero Kiwanis Club cordially invite service-minded community members to be their guests for breakfast at 7:30 a.m. on Saturday, Feb. 23 at the Red Bridge Park Community Building.
This annual event is designed to share an up close and personal look at the Cicero Kiwanis Club and what it does for the community and beyond. Enjoy a home-cooked breakfast, fellowship, and learn about the many benefits of being involved with one of northern Hamilton County’s oldest service organizations.
“We enjoy taking this special opportunity to share the ‘Kiwanis’ experience of improving the world, one child and one community at a time right here in our backyard,” said Cicero Kiwanis Club President Robin Mills.
Mills, who is the Hamilton County Auditor, has been an active member of the club since she joined in 2014.
“Our mission alone is powerful motivation to do good,” said Mills. “Service leadership is a great way to make positive contributions while getting to know your community and those who live there.”
While Dick Blose, a retired minister, has only been a member of the Cicero Club for about three years, he was an active and involved member of the Richmond Kiwanis for 12 years prior to moving to the community. In addition to the many services and benefits the club provides, Blose said he enjoys sharing time with friendly and interesting people who continually look for new ways to make the Cicero community stronger.
Dottie Carlson, who joined in 2017, agrees. In fact, both Carlson and her husband Doug, are members. Carlson, who works in the Hamilton County Auditor’s Office, says she loves the community and being able to give back through the organization.
Past president and long-time member Keith Ecker, the Data Coach for Hamilton Heights School Corporation and immediate past president of the club, said, “We remain strong in our mission of service to the greater northern Hamilton County because of the club’s vision, leadership and focus. Plus, we have fun.”
“Like any other volunteer organization, it’s really the people who make this organization great and keep us moving forward,” said Steve Holt, who helped charter the club more than four decades ago. Holt is passionate about the group and the people in it who make a difference every single day throughout the community thanks to their time, talent and treasure.
