A recent Rochelle
News-Leader article noted that annual fundraisers by the Rochelle
Kiwanis Golden K, such as this year’s Brat Booth at the Rochelle
Heritage Festival, help fund scholarships for Rochelle youth, as well
as provide donations to a number of leading local organizations that
serve the greater Rochelle community.
Fundraisers such as the Brat Booth, Peanut Day, Pancake Day and Chili
Day, are the means by which the Rochelle Kiwanis Golden K is able to
develop funding that is returned directly to the community as a whole,
while focusing on the children and youth of the Rochelle area. In fact,
last year, the Rochelle Kiwanis Golden K contributed over $11,000,
earned through these fundraisers, back to the community.
Perhaps lesser known, is the fact that Rochelle Kiwanis Golden K has
managed a number of special projects that have benefited as well as
beautified the community. Projects such as the Lake Sule pavilion
shelter, flower boxes for the beautification of downtown Rochelle, help
organize and sponsor Kiwanis Builders Club at Rochelle Middle School
and Kiwanis Key Club at RTHS, the “BUGS” (Bringing up
Grades) program for elementary grades, Spinoza Bear and “Baby
Jingles” for newborn babies, and recently, a new seating bench
for use in downtown Rochelle – provide enrichment to the Rochelle
area.
