Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated
to changing the world one child and one community
at a time. We meet every Wednesday from noon to 1:00 p.m.
at Shawnee State University's Morris University Center.
On June 10, our club hosted a surprise farewell for Past President Misty Simco. She and her husband, Dan, have faithfully served our local Salvation Army for several years, and they will be transferring to Newark at the end of June. They are pictured below with Kiwanis President Kara Tieman.
We greatly appreciate Misty and Dan's leadership and outreach to our community. They have led a very successful Red Kettle Bell project for several years during the holiday season. Misty also redesigned the Salvation Army's Angel Tree program by setting up a store where parents could shop for gifts for their children.
Misty has also served on our Board of Directors, and she is our club's Advisor to the Key Club at Sciotoville Community (East). As chairman of our Playground committee, Misty was instrumental in helping to add ADA-compatible swings to our Kiwanis Playground in 2024 so disabled children could also enjoy going to Tracy Park. She worked to secure a grant from the Kiwanis Children's Fund to sponsor this project and raised matching funds from the local community.
Misty has drafted our members to serve meals, sort donations at the family store, and ring bells at Kroger. She and the Salvation Army Band even once entertained at our Kiwanis Christmas Party!
Thank you to Misty and Dan for all you have done to serve the families and children of our local community. We will miss you, and we are very happy to know of your plans to someday return to the area. Until then, God bless you, and we wish you great success in Newark! ... See MoreSee Less
