Club Snapshots

(Above) The Kiwanis Club of the Peninsula at Oyster Point supported the traffic awareness project which is aimed at making teenage drivers know what happens when drinking and driving turn into tragedy.  A staged "accident" occurs near the high school and actors portray the reactions or family members and friends.  It is a stark reminder of how a careless act can affect many lives.  The Kiwanis Club of the Peninsula at Oyster Point made a donation of $200 to this project.  MaRhonda Echols, right, victim's assistance advocate in the office of the Commonwealth's Attorney received the check from Chuck Root, Community Service chairman.

Following the service, several members proceeded to a local restaurant to socialize and enjoy brunch. Many thanks to Marie Quick for her efforts in making this annual event a success.
