“Average” — What’s That? | Charlie Bussey
The “average” guest stays at Kiwanis Family House for about 3 days, stays only one time and we never see them again because their family medical emergency has been resolved. Other guests stay with us over and over as their medical crisis may take longer and require one or more follow up visits or surgeries. […]
Director’s Letter – July 2017
Like many Kiwanis members who attended the recent International convention in Paris, we were drawn to some of the city’s landmarks during our stay – Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame Cathedral, the Palace at Versailles, the Hotel Ritz, and the River Seine. Each of these beams its own history, its own legacy, and its own significant […]

Volunteer Spotlight | Charlie Bussey
