Five local Kiwanis clubs gather for divisional chili feed

VANCOUVER – Members of five local Kiwanis clubs recently gathered for a divisional chili feed to raise funds to support their current lieutenant governor, Robert Lewis. Rather than accept the funds, Lewis requested that they be donated to support 13 local Key Clubs, which are Kiwanis service leadership groups in local high schools. Students from the Vancouver iTech Preparatory and Skyview Key Clubs assisted Salmon Creek Kiwanians, who organized the chili feed. A highlight of the evening occurred when Lewis was awarded the Frank Morehouse Medallion. A former governor of the Pacific Northwest Kiwanis District, Morehouse expanded the local Kiwanis Doernbecher Children’s Cancer Program, which provides pediatric oncology and hematology fellowships, to children’s hospitals in both Seattle and Vancouver, B.C., to form the Kiwanis Children’s Cancer Program.
