The Kiwanis Club of Central Okanagan is looking to expand with a club satellite in Lake Country.

President Tom Cockrell says the club name used to be Kiwanis Club of Kelowna-Summit, but a name change was recently decided on.

91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœThat meant nothing to anybody except that they saw Kelowna and if they lived in Lake Country they wouldn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t feel attached to that name. So, we changed the name to be more encompassing with the area that we serve.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ

Cockrell says to build the club satellite they just need a few interested volunteers.

91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœThey would work under the umbrella of the main club. They don91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t elect a secretary or treasurer or president or anything like that, they just simply have somebody who is kind of a group coordinator but they91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™re responsible to the main club.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ

As a satellite, Cockrell says the group would establish their own projects and fundraisers and ultimately expand on the work Kiwanis is doing in the Central Okanagan.

91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵœWhat we91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™re looking for is just a few people, it doesn91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ™t have to be huge91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ¦ four, five, six people who are like minded and want to provide service to youth, children, and young adults in the community.91ÂãÁÄÊÓƵ

Anyone interested in being part of the Lake Country club satellite can contact Cockrell at (250)979-8658.
