KIWANIS' Angels

Striking a pose with Eileen Carroll (another volunteer) and Ron Arnold (President of the Kiwanis Club). Now tell me, who can resist that famous KIWANIS BBQ "Chickin"??

Enough with that. Let's get down to business!

It was nice of Betsy to allow us to alternate shifts so that someone could take care of the baby. Unfortunately, we didn't get to meet her in person since she didn't came in to work that afternoon. Anyway, we were given the dinner shift of 6-9 PM. Here is how our day went......

This is when Jonathan was waiting for his shift. You can catch a glimpse of a busy TriTAN working up a sweat in the background.

C.I.A. (Cim in Action)

Now turning the table around, it's time for Cim to sit back and relax with Iynigo. That was in the first picture when she was still enjoying taking pics to pass the time. The second pic depicts a totally different story (taken an hour and a half after).

Go Jonathan!!!!

At the end of the day, the accomplished team took one last shot to document this experience. Knowing that 100% of the Kiwanis' profits would go to the flood victims, the proud Tri-TANs can't help but smile despite of a long day's work.

Exploring Ron Arnold...

Ron Arnold is currently the President of the Columbus Kiwanis Club. We decided to add this segment in the blog when we coincidentally ran into him 3 days after the volunteering task at Kiwanis during the 4H fair. It was during the World Series volunteer picnic meeting at the Donner Park Shelter House and he was the one who even first saw and approached us. With all the volunteers who helped during the fair, we were quite surprised that he remembered us at all. (also since his work was in the kitchen and ours was mostly outside)

We began chatting and found quite a few things about him. Aside from the Kiwanis Club, he is also very active in other charity related institutions. He was also a cartoonist and once upon a time had Jim Davis (remember Garfield?) as his employee (how cool is that?!!). He showed us the plaque posted at the wall of the Shelter House, which narrated shortly his part in the revival of the Donner Park Variety show (created 1926).
