The Kiwanis Club of Webster has adopted a platoon, which was recently deployed to Iraq. There are 35 soldiers in the platoon. Four boxes of supplies have already been shipped and they should receive them just before Christmas. Our goal is to send a couple of boxes every week until they return.

With over 100 members in our club this shouldn't be a problem. Any donations are welcome and a box will be at every meeting so please take time to drop off something they might need. Monetary donations are welcome to help offset the shipping costs. If you have any questions please contact This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
