Quarterly Commodity Food Distribution

Our Kiwanians packed and delivered 192 bags of food to residents in Lenoir City on September 10th, 2024.  Food was not the only thing our members delivered.  Kindness and goodwill to those in need were a part of this quarterly delivery.

Quarterly Commodity Food Distribution – June 4, 2024

On June 11, 2024 our members joined together, working as a well-oiled machine, for the Quarterly Commodity Food Distribution Project.

Under the guidance of Ken Austin, Project Leader, the volunteers received, sorted, packed, and delivered bags of surplus commodities to residents in Lenoir City. The recipients of the food are primarily low-income elderly or handicapped individuals unable to pick up the food themselves.

Our members, no matter how difficult the task, always step up to help those less fortunate.

Without Limits Baseball Team

Loudon Without Limits Baseball team held their final game of the season on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. It was  Sponsor Appreciation Night.  Following the game, the team and sponsors met on the field for a celebratory group picture, followed by some tasty treats.

Without Limits Program offers baseball to athletes with special needs.  Without Limits works with the Loudon Diamond Club; which offers youth baseball and softball to local children. Sweetwater and Tellico Plains were the first Without Limit teams.

The Loudon Without Limits team made its debut April 26, 2023.  The Loudon team consists of players ranging in age from 5 to 28.  Our club provides monetary support, and members volunteer to support the athletes at their ball games.  Tellico Village Kiwanis Club is proud to support the Loudon Without Limits Baseball Team!

Our Members were busier than bees the first week of April, 2024.

We had a great start to the New Year.  11 of our Kiwanis members attended an Inter-Club meeting on January 2, 2024 at the Maryville Kiwanis Club.  We experienced the true meaning of fellowship. We were greeted at the door! We enjoyed a great lunch. Their President, Wanda Davis, conducted an interesting and comprehensive meeting. We shared ideas, and plans to continue the work of Kiwanis. We also had the privilege to viewed Pete Davis’s new Maryville Kiwanis website. We hope you take a moment to read the short synopsis, “What is Inter-Club”.  

Thank you members of the Maryville Kiwanis Club!  You are an exceptional group of Kiwanians.
