December is for giving!
We've done a lot of fun things this December - all to give back to the community.
First of all, there was the decorating of the gazebo in town - done by the Key Club members. Great job!
Next, as always, our club got together and created a float for the Sheboygan Falls parade to celebrate our community and the holiday together. We won second place this year.

And we had our annual Madrigal Dinner and Christmas celebration, which helped raise funds to benefit children with autism.

After this event, Sheboygan Falls Kiwanis Club visited the elementary school to make their 42nd presentation of an iPad to a child with autism. The lucky recipient was Deja Bodwin, age 4.

We also presented two more iPads that week - our 43rd and 44th presentations overall - during the annual annual “Pancake Breakfast with Santa and Mrs. Claus” held by the Sheboygan Falls Kiwanis Club and the Greater Sheboygan Kiwanis Club, with the support of the Applebee’s on South Taylor Drive. At this breakfast, held on December 10th, recipients not only got to meet with Santa and Mrs. Claus, but received their very own iPad. We're very grateful for the good food and assistance rom Applebee’s, and local Kiwanis Key Club members who made this event a great success.
