The Kiwanis Club of Norfolk raises money for charities in two ways: 1) We have a Foundation that accepts charitable donations that meet the IRS’s criteria for being tax deductible. Our Golf Tournament, and individual donations are the primary way we receive these funds.
However, some things we find necessary to support the community don’t fit into the nice box of being tax deductible. For these items 2) we raise funds through pouring beverages at various Festevents activities. You might think of the revenue sharing we do with the organization like this: Festevents keeps the price of a drink for the various costs of putting on the festival, and we are permitted to keep the tips.
This is the way we fund the James Monroe Holiday Party. Our annual picnics at Edmarc Hospice for Children and the Holiday House are also supported by these Festvents activities. Parents of the residents of Edmarc and Holiday House are served at these events as are the support staff of each of the organizations. Our members like to break bread with the folks supported by these organizations too. As heart-warming as serving parents, staff, and Kiwanians is though, the IRS does not permit tax deductions for it.
Participating in the Festevents activities provides load of fun for our club members. Not only to we get to meet members of the community we wouldn’t know otherwise, but we also get to see and hear fireworks, performing arts, and awesome music: Harborfest is always on our calendar. There are always a few other events annually as well, allowing us to raise more money, and experience a wider variety of the festivals: Recent work at Festevents activities has included the Spring Wine Festival, the Fall Craft Beer festival, and outdoor symphony concerts: These never afford participants a dull moment.
What a great presentation, and so relevant for Kiwanis Club of Norfolk, this week! Thank you Mel Price is Principal and co-founder of Work Program Architects and Chuck McPhillips is Founder and Chairman of Next Step to Success.
The Norfolk-based “Next Step to Success” program revealed that they would be purchasing the former DePaul Hospital property that sits off Kingsley Lane in the Riverpoint area of the city and turning it into the “St. Vincent de Paul House.”
“The Hospital of St. Vincent dePaul,” was the name when the first medical facility opened up on the site in 1856.
The new development will include “learning houses,” a gymnasium, a dining hall, gardens and a regulation-size soccer field, all to serve 300 students as part of Next Step’s afterschool and summer “experiential learning” programs, according to a release. Program leadership said they hope to have the campus up and running in two years as their goal is lofty: cut the poverty rate in Norfolk by one-half within a generation.
Thank you Bob Rose for the content above from our club newsletter.
Our meeting this week will be another great one! Be sure to register Kiwanians and think about a guest you can bring along.
We enjoyed having guest speakers Brenda Garrett (left) and Shelly Averett (right) with Horizons for our last meeting in March. Brenda has been a long-standing leader in Kiwanis! Thank you for keeping us up-to-date on Horizons iniatitives! #norfolkva#GivingBack#kiwanis... See MoreSee Less
