Virtual Event with Books to Prisons
When: Tuesday, March 23, 7:00-8:00PM
Where: Zoom
Join us for a virtual information session with long-time Kiwanis Young Professionals service project partner Books to Prisons. Founded in 1999, DC Books to Prisons provides free books to individual prisoners. They also develop and support prison libraries. Their work is done solely by concerned volunteers using donated time and resources. DC Books to Prisons is a fiscally sponsored project of Empowerment WORKS, a 501c3 nonprofit organization. Yearly, they send more than 7,000 packages to prisoners. These packages go to prisoners in over 600 prisons in 34 states.
Board member Jackie Snow will share more about what the organization does, how they have modified activity during the pandemic, and how we can assist them. We hope you can join us!

Virtual Meeting
When: Tuesday, April 10, 7:00-8:00PM
Where: Zoom
We are excited to have Ariel Trahan, program director at the Anacostia Watershed Society, join us to provide more background on the organization and prepare our team for Earth Day clean up on April 24th. The Anacostia Watershed Society was founded in 1989 by a small group of concerned individuals who decided that the environmental needs of the Anacostia River and its watershed communities required serious attention. Over the past 20 years, our staff and programming efforts have expanded significantly to encompass efforts in environmental education, stewardship, and recreation, as well as engaging the community through public affairs. The vision is to make the Anacostia River and its tributaries swimmable and fishable, in keeping with the Clean Water Act, for the health and enjoyment of everyone in the community. Community involvement is critical to achieving this vision and AWS seeks win-win solutions through strong partnerships and coalitions, with all parts of the community, government, and other stakeholders.
Save the Date. Link to come!
