| The Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis Foundation was founded in 2003
as a tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization to be the charitable arm of the
Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown.
Simply stated the purposes of the Foundation are as
follows:
-
The
Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, and
educational purposes.
-
The
Foundation is organized to receive charitable contributions and to
provide the funding that carries out the charitable, religious, and
educational objectives of the Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown.
-
The
Foundation is organized to provide such funding either by direct
grants and scholarships to worthy recipients or by grants to other
organizations that qualify as tax-exempt organizations.
The goal of Your Foundation is to establish a
"Corpus"* large enough to draw interest to support activities of the
Club.
*Webster says: corpus n. the principal as
distinguished from interest or income of an investment.
A seven member Board of Trustees, all of whom are
members of the Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown , directs the Foundation.

Donations,
Memorials and Tributes
The
Foundation actively solicits and gladly receives donations honoring
Kiwanians for their service or in memory of relatives and friends whom
people would chose to remember. Contributions to the Foundation for any
reason are tax deductible and will ultimately benefit the children of
Williamson County, Texas, and the world. The Foundation’s long-term goal
is to build a corpus from which interest can be drawn to further support
the charitable work of the Club.
Memorials: It's never easy telling someone "I care" when a
relative, friend or fellow Kiwanian is lost. You want to express
yourself, but words are inadequate. A memorial may help you convey
your emotion and concern.
Tributes:
One the occasions of a birth, anniversary, birthday, or other "happy"
event, you may choose to contribute to the Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis
Foundation. This allows you to honor someone while at the same
time help children in need through your Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis
Foundation.

At the
December 15 Trustee meeting the Foundation Board of Trustees choose
Bob Barnes to fill out the term of Trustee Georgia Hopper, who
resigned. Kent Buikema was elected to continue
as a Trustee. Marshall Pearlstein was elected to replace Lydia
Rives, whose term as Trustee expired at the end of December.
March 1, 2009 --
At their meeting on February 24, the Foundation Board of Trustees
chose Lydia Rives to fill a vacancy created by a resignation.
Lydia will serve until December 31, 2009.
The Trustees also voted to renew a Certificate of Deposit valued at
$3,685.00 for six months. The Foundation now has five CDs in the
Club's Corpus valued at over $28,000.00.
January 27, 2009 --
The Foundation Trustees wish to thank members of the Club for their
generosity and at the same time encourage members who have never
given to the Foundation to do so by commemorating a birthday or
anniversary or recognizing a fellow Kiwanian's good deed or
accomplishment. Our Corpus now exceeds twenty eight thousand
dollars. ($28,000.00) Certainly this is a fine accomplishment, but a
club of 140 plus members can do better!
At their meeting on January 13 your Foundation held the annual
election of officers. Kent Buikema was elected chairman, Don
Ballard, secretary, and Lew Richardson was elected treasurer.
The term of office is one year. Trustees on your Foundation
include Georgia Hopper, Don Siler, Bill White and Herb Wilkens.
