On Monday, May 2, the Chelsea Kiwanis Club will welcome back Karen Persello, head of Youth and Teen Services at Chelsea District Library.
She will be joined by Lori Coryell, the new library director. Kiwanis has supported the Library’s Summer Reading Program in the past, and expects to hear about this year’s effort. We are looking forward to meeting Ms. Coryell and to hear about many of the ways the library continues to be an outstanding resource for Chelsea area residents.
Last Monday, the Chelsea Kiwanis Club heard from Julie Deppner, who outlined the many ways our club can structure the way our contributions can be given to graduating seniors at Chelsea High School. She told us there were over 500 scholarships given to students last year, and that about half of the senior class received some financial aid.
We worked again last weekend picking up litter on I-94 as part of the Michigan Department of Transportation’s Adopt a Highway Program. In just a two-mile stretch we picked up over 150 cans and bottles with a 10-cent deposit. It always surprises me that so many people would throw money out the window.
The club meeting begins each Monday at 6:15 p.m. in the St. Joseph Mercy-Chelsea Hospital cafeteria, and the speakers begin at about 6:45 p.m. Everyone is invited to the club’s meetings to learn about Kiwanis, click www.kiwanisclubofchelsea.org for more information.
