SWEETWATER-The Sweetwater Kiwanis Club needs your help. Due to the economic downturn, the club's fundraising efforts have been dramatically affected and the club is in danger of having to cut some of its school projects. The Sweetwater Kiwanis Club does the following projects for the Sweetwater area:

The Annual Sweetwater Christmas Parade

The Key Club at the Sweetwater High School

The Builders Club at the Sweetwater Jr. High

The Terrific Kids program at Brown Middle School

The B.U.G. program at the Sweetwater Elementary School

The Back-Pack program with Second-Harvest for the Sweetwater City School System

Annually give money to "The Center for Courageous Kids" in Scottsville, Ky. This is a camp that provides children with various illnesses the ability to have a summer camp experience.

In years past; Kiwanis has given money to Young Life, Red Cross, Boy Scouts & Girl Scouts and supported many other organizations and community agencies.
