They use 100 percent of the proceeds to help children in the West End."We have purchased recumbent bicycles for physically disadvantaged children to exercise. We helped a few students with scholarship money for advancing their education. We sponsor the Pleasant Valley High School Key Club and also the Intermediate School Builders Club. We sponsor a Child ID Day where we have area police fingerprint young children and give the fingerprint cards to the parents, so that if there is an emergency the parents will have this information. The Kiwanis' motto is 'Changing the World, One Child and One Community at a Time.' Everything we do is geared toward helping children," says Bob Meyer, president of the West End Kiwanis Club.They meet every Tuesday at Cherry's Sunset Restaurant in Kresgeville at 7:30 a.m. The public is invited to come and join them for the meeting and fellowship."We would love to grow our club. We are always looking for fresh ideas," says Meyer.For more information and reservations, call Bob Meyer at (570) 236-6767.
