Kiwanis Club Changes Structure
by the Kiwanis Club and Anthonette Klinkerman

There is a whole lot of change going on, including with the Kiwanis Club of Castle Pines North (CPN). The previous frequency of meetings and the structure of the club was in need of a tune-up. “Service and social” goals have become the new focus, and members will now meet less often and be more involved in serving the community.

The decision came from Kiwanis International, the largest service organization in the world. Recently, a change of rules was put in to place to allow clubs to better arrange themselves in accordance with the needs of its members.

The Kiwanis Club of CPN will now meet at La Dolce Vita restaurant for lunch every second and fourth Tuesday of the month. In this stream-lined fashion, the efforts of the organization, including planning service projects and offering social and networking opportunities, can continue smoothly.

Daniel Cook, Kiwanis Club president, stated, “This structure will make it possible for anyone to be a Kiwanis member… there is room for all who want to be involved in projects that benefit kids.”

Interested prospective members are invited to an information night August 5 at Jimmy’s Steakhouse, located in Castle Pines Village. Please contact Janet Moore at 303-790-4413, or online at www.cpkiwanis.org.

Second Wind Fund Benefits From Kiwanis Club Members
by Anthonette Klinkerman

Kiwanis Club members in Castle Pines North (CPN) are passionate about their efforts to help contribute to the Second Wind Fund, the teen suicide prevention program.

Dr. Brandon Linn is an orthodontist with a mission. Besides straightening teeth for beautiful smiles from Castle Pines North to Highlands Ranch and Parker with his five offices, Linn wants to bring forward the serious issue of teen suicide.

“No one likes to talk about it, but it needs to be addressed as you don’t hear about this issue often enough in the media,” he stated.

As a member of the Kiwanis Club of CPN since 2005, his heart has become tuned to service acts. An avid runner, Linn had recently taken note of the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society efforts toward culturing teams to run marathons and raise funds in their “Team in Training” program.

With a little twist, Linn is applying the same idea to his practices in order to raise money for the Second Wind Foundation. Patients of Linn, or his partner Dr. Bumgarner, can opt to write a check directly to Second Wind and have the amount deducted from their bills. The offices will then match contributions up to $3000 to help fund the program.

“As long as it takes to reach our goal, we’ll keep doing this,” Linn said.
