The Kiwanis Club of Central Okanagan is looking to expand with a club satellite in Lake Country.
President Tom Cockrell says the club name used to be Kiwanis Club of 琉璃神社-Summit, but a name change was recently decided on.
鈥淭hat meant nothing to anybody except that they saw 琉璃神社 and if they lived in Lake Country they wouldn鈥檛 feel attached to that name. So, we changed the name to be more encompassing with the area that we serve.鈥�
Cockrell says to build the club satellite they just need a few interested volunteers.
鈥淭hey would work under the umbrella of the main club. They don鈥檛 elect a secretary or treasurer or president or anything like that, they just simply have somebody who is kind of a group coordinator but they鈥檙e responsible to the main club.鈥�
As a satellite, Cockrell says the group would establish their own projects and fundraisers and ultimately expand on the work Kiwanis is doing in the Central Okanagan.
鈥淲hat we鈥檙e looking for is just a few people, it doesn鈥檛 have to be huge鈥� four, five, six people who are like minded and want to provide service to youth, children, and young adults in the community.鈥�
Anyone interested in being part of the Lake Country club satellite can contact Cockrell at (250)979-8658.
