The Slayton Kiwanis Club, with revenue from various fundraisers, annually contributes a total of about $7,000 to nearly 30 activities and organizations in Murray County that benefit the community and especially youth. Due to accumulated reserves in their administrative account the club was able to make three additional $1000 donations to local organizations in August. Receiving donations were Wonder World Preschool Inc., Murray County Hearts and Hands, and Murray County Early Childhood Initiative (ECI).
Wonder World Preschool is a child care center in Slayton that accepts children ages of infants, toddlers, preschool and school age. Hearts and Hands of Murray County is a charitable organization designed to assist children and families through various programs and individual contact that features local control and focuses on Murray County residents. The Murray County Early Childhood Initiative is committed to building community partnerships that enhance child care, educational opportunities, and family support for children birth to age five.
Slayton Kiwanis meets each Wednesday at noon at the Country Host and welcomes guests and is always looking for new members.
