WHEN I DID SERVICE CLUBS...
ON this date in 2015 - Bridgeville Kiwanis Club celebrates their 76th Charter Night.
This service club, long the envy of other service organizations in the area (save for the Soroptimists) has provided over $300K to children and youth in the Bridgeville/Greenwood area in just the last ten years alone.

Bun Man and Mr. Purple, our membership team, invite all who wish to serve our community to join our club.
Bun Man laments that young people don't join service organizations anymore, but Mr. Purple holds out hope that youngsters will join as they will understand how community service binds a community.

@Madken65 To my amazement, I joined my local Lions club (I don’t join ANY group that would have someone like me as a member) and they do many fine things for the community. Sadly, at 71, I am one of their younger members but seeing how hard the older members work is highly motivating.
Thank you, fewer and fewer do now, one of my fave books, 'Bowling Alone' chronicles the decline ver well.
Someday, the USA will figure out what made us strong, it was always a sense of community.

We also did more service when life wasn't all-consuming.
