Nawiliwili Park and the surrounding area was the beneficiary of the Kiwanis One Day project, last Saturday.
More than 40 volunteers, including members of the Key Clubs from both Kapa‘a and Kaua‘i high schools, turned out to work alongside Kiwanis members and volunteers from Matson Navigation and Kaua‘i Commercial.
The Kiwanis One Day project is celebrated as an international day of service by the family of Kiwanis Clubs on Kaua‘i.
According to an e-mail from Steven Nishimura, the project is in conjunction with Matson Navigation’s community-based service program, Ka Ipu Aina, to do beach cleanups or other related projects.
The volunteers cleaned up the Nawiliwili Park, Nawiliwili Road, the seawall area extending to Kalapaki Beach, as well as the Nawiliwili Small Boat Harbor.
Trash generated by the volunteerism project was transported to the Kekaha Landfill by trucks contributed by Kaua‘i Commercial.
In return for their participation, the Key Clubs will be getting scholarships from the funds contributed by Matson Navigation for participating in the cleanup, states a press release from the Kiwanis.
Next on the agenda for the Kiwanis Club is the annual French (Toast) Breakfast scheduled for April 27 at the Wilcox School cafeteria.
Breakfast patrons can enjoy all-you-can-eat French toast for $6 per person from 7 a.m. to 10 a.m. Tickets are now available for this event from any member of the Kiwanis Club, the Lihu‘e Veterinary Hospital, or at Territorial Savings and Finance Factors on Kukui Grove Street in Lihu‘e.
The Kiwanis Club invites any interested people to come to its meetings held on Tuesdays at the Hanama‘ulu Cafe starting at noon.
