We're a service club dedicated to serving the children of the world.

We have one major fund raiser each year. The bulk of the money we collect to support the club and our many charitable causes comes from our annual “Peanut Days” campaign.

However, it's not all we do, not by a long shot. Learn more about our projects and how you can get involved.

Check out photos from our weekly speakers! (Click the photo below.)

On March 29 member Chuck Traugott described his February cruise to Antarctica. He explained that Antarctica's land area is greater than the entire area of the United States! 70% of the world's supply of water is there, and if it all melted, the oceans would rise 16 inches! He accounted for many creatures who live there: seals, penguins, whales, dolphins, albatrosses, and cormorants. Photo courtesy of Sara Johnson
