"KIWANIS BIKE PROGRAM"
It's a simple sign for an advertisement, and yet it means quite a lot to me. As a Key Club member for the past 4 years, it's comforting to me when I see that the organization which has become like a second family to me is present even here in my new home in Reno. As a member of the Kiwanis Family, when I first saw this sign I knew that I had to immediately follow up on it. Coincidentally, the Kiwanis Clubs of Northern Nevada was on my approved list of organizations that could be use to fulfill my service learning requirement for my HON 200B class, and so last week I started volunteering with the Kiwanis Club of Downtown Sparks at their warehouse for their Kiwanis Bike Program, which was conveniently located just a block away from the university campus. Before coming here to Reno, I wasn't sure if I was going to be as involved with the Kiwanis organization as I was in high school as I didn't know how active Kiwanis Clubs were up here- however, after seeing this sign, I'm glad that I've decided to get involved with this organization and community service again. Already, I've joined my local Circle K Club- the collegiate version of Kiwanis- and I'm making arrangements to visit the Kiwanians during their club meetings and whenever they go to visit their Key Clubs. Because of this sign, I feel a lot more at home now knowing that just around the corner, there's a group of people who have the same commitment towards community service and the Kiwanis organization as I do.
