Forty-Eight 1st and 2nd grade children gathered at Skechers in Gardena to receive school shoes and supplies. The children were from The Boys and Girls Club of Harbor City and the Volunteers of America. The Kiwanis of Rolling Hills Estates has teamed with Skechers for the last three years in support of the underserved children in our community.
Key Club members from Peninsula and Palos Verdes High School supported the program by helping the children select their shoes. After selecting their shoes and a backpack, with the school supplies, the children gathered in the patio for snacks and dancing.
On a somber note a memorial plaque was presented to Karen, Fred Held’s wife, to recognize Fred’s support of the club and Project Shoe. Fred recently passed away.

Dear Karina, Yesenia, Diana and Eduardo,
There are no adequate words to acknowledge the work you do every day to support the young people in our community. The Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates previously has recognized the importance of the Boys and Girls Club’s support for children and young people, but this year your impact is even more visible.
In the absence of a scholarship luncheon, I asked the students to identify the people they would like to acknowledge on their Kiwanis celebration slide. You will find an overwhelming B&GC presence in the attached slide presentation.
You, and the mentors you recruit, are amazingly effective in guiding students who face so many adversities to become talented, positive and forward-thinking individuals with a vision of improving the lives of others. The bottom line: you create miracles every day!
Although we cannot meet in person at this time, I look forward to our continued communication and collaboration on behalf of the young people in our community. Please feel to contact me at any time (joyce.campbell@csulb.edu, or jcampb8116@aol.com).
On behalf of the Scholarship Committee and all the members of the Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates, I want to express our deep gratitude to you for joining us in this year’s celebration of our youth.
Sincerely,
Joyce Campbell
