Kiwanis International
Kiwanis is an International organization whose members are worldwide. All that is required for Club membership is an enthusiastic commitment to the mission and goals of Kiwanis, and interest and participation in their local Kiwanis Club activities.
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.
The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in children’s lives. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them, and provide the support they need to thrive. Our Kiwanis club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through fundraising and community projects.
Kiwanis Service
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
The Kiwanis Club of Glenview-Northbrook focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child, one family, or one organization at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact in our communities, our club sponsors Key Club (a Kiwanis club for high school kids) at both Glenbrook High Schools (District 225).
At this weeks Kiwanis Club meeting our speaker was Calvin Lam of the CoderSchool, Glenview. In an AI world, the CoderSchool teaches kids (of all ages) to think logically, explain their ideas, and problem-solve creatively and not solely relying on AI for easy answers. Code Coaches help turn big ideas into real tech projects...all while having some fun. Learning to code builds critical thinking skills that will help coders to thrive in an AI-centric world. The CoderSchool is Silicon Valley’s first nationwide coding program right here to our neighborhood. Check them out! Thank you Calvin: www.thecoderschool.com/locations/glenview/... See MoreSee Less
At last week's club meeting, Jennifer Keen of the Alzheimer's Association spoke about a comprehensive lifestyle approach to support brain health and potentially lower the risk of cognitive decline and Alzheimer's disease. Key elements of this approach include:
• The MIND Diet: Focuses on plant-based foods linked to dementia prevention.
• Sleep and Brain Health: Quality sleep allows the brain to clear out cellular waste and toxic proteins, such as beta-amyloid, which are linked to Alzheimer's disease.
• Word Games and Mental Stimulation: Pairing word games or board games with social interaction provides a greater boost to overall well-being and cognitive reserve.
This week's meeting featured Deb DaSilva, Senior Director of Partner Engagement at Exodus World Service. Exodus World Service mobilizes local communities to welcome and befriend refugees (people who are forced to flee their country due to WAR or PERSECUTION). Exodus helps to assimilate refugees by providing support for everyday living (care packs), meeting neighbors (building friendships), and building community (group programs).
