As I am writing this ESK article I can't help but think of two words, THANK YOU and PROUD, Proud to be a Kiwanian and thank you for your support of our KPTC.
The help and support that our members and clubs were able to extend to the Sandy victims was overwhelming, yet while this needed unexpected effort went on our members and Kiwanis clubs continued their support of the Pediatric Trauma Center. Thank you again.
In the month of February we had the Director and KPTC Coordinator of Safe Kids, Rosemarie Ennis, as our guest speaker. Rosemarie reported how the hospital allocates our funding and the difference that Kiwanis makes in helping save children's lives in our community.
Rosemarie shared some statistics that showed a reduction in accidents and our Kiwanis programs being very much responsible. One of the comments that she left us with was something that she heard in reference to a child's accident, 'This should never have happened, said by a doctor', and with your support of the KPTC we hope to have accidents happen less and less.
The board of directors then presented Ro Ennis with their annual donation in the amount of $40,000 for this year to continue the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Center programs at the hospital.
Please look for our upcoming events:
