Best wishes Linda

One of the nicest things that happens when you are a member of a group like the Kiwanis Club of Jackson is the fine people you meet. Over the years our club was enriched by our association with Linda Dougherty. A devoted educator, Linda was in charge of our Builders Club at McAuliffe Middle School for several years. Some people shine because they truly love what they do. Linda loved the kids and the opportunities Builders Club offered them. It was our loss when Linda announced she was leaving the school district to move to upstate New York. How do you repay someone who has been so helpful, so inspirational? You can't, but you can try. We honored Linda by inducting her into our club earlier in the year. We also had a special presentation for her at a Board of Education meeting in April. Thanks Linda, and best wishes.

Helping Harbor House

We and members of the Kiwanis Club of Toms River, were able to help out Harbor House by sprucing up their home and getting paint all over ourselves.

Harbor House provides temporary shelter for teens and children, teaching them valuable life skills.

Our members (Lois & Pat) have also helped out big time by participating in a few of their annual five-day long bike-a-thons.

Police Officers of the Year

The Kiwanis Club of Jackson hosted its 12th annual Police Officers of the Year Dinner May 15, 2008 at Eagle Ridge Country Club. The honorees, selected by their peers, were: John Convery, John Biovanetti, Michael Grochowski, MaryNelson and William Simon. Besides being thanked by our club the offers received proclamations from the New Jersey state legislature, the Governor, the Ocean County Board of Chosen Freeholders, and the Jackson Township town council.
