On September 6th the Kiwanis of Rolling Hills Estates held their Project Shoe program at the local Torrance Payless Shoe Store. Ninety one children from the Volunteers of America, Harbor, Wilmington, and South Bay Boys and Girls Clubs participated in the program. The boys and girls ranged from 5 to 10 years of age.
Each child received a new pair of school shoes, a backpack or bag containing school supplies. While they were waiting for their shoes there were snacks, music and dancing. Eleven Key Club and Kiwins from the Palos Verdes Peninsula High Schools assisted the children in selecting the shoes.
At the conclusion of the event the children are given a lesson so that they realize the value of the shoes. We ask the children to do something helpful, like helping with a meal or cleaning up a room, for their family in return for receiving the shoes.

Please come early to the meeting on September 4th to help with the backpack preparation. Saturday, September 6th, plan to arrive early to help with set up at Payless Shoes.
Whether you are experienced or you have never helped children select school shoes, you will love this opportunity!
The children cherish the shopping, the food and the entertainment provided by Evelyn and Tony. Ken Dyda will send them home on a mission to “pay it forward.”

And we even hired a Clown!
Mark your calendar for Project Shoe on Saturday, September 6th at 8 am.
Join the Kiwanis Club of Rolling Hills Estates, and Payless Shoe Source, as we provide school supplies, shoes and socks, and toothbrushes and toothpaste to approximately one hundred deserving children.
Kid friendly entertainment will be provided as volunteers help children choose and get fitted for new shoes for the new school year.
We also teach the kids gratitude and an understanding of the sacrifice others made for them to receive their gifts along with asking them to do a chore to pay for it!
In-kind donations of school supplies, socks, toothbrushes, and toothpaste are appreciated.

Concerts are shared with various children groups. Tickets are provided courtesy of the Kiwanis and supported by the Key Club members.
Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to thank the club for the concert support every year. When I am looking at 400 tickets on my dresser it is comforting to know that I can count on the club. The Boys & Girls Club was there as well as Volunteers of America members. I had wonderful e-mails from them after the show.
I can’t believe the turnout for the concert is larger every year with attendance of 400 people raising well over $10,000.
Next year will be benefit concert #50 on September 20, 2014 at the Armstrong. Please save the date. It will be special and emotional.
Thanks so much for your support every year. We are back at the Holiday Inn on Thursday and Terranea on Saturday as usual.”
