LBHS Key Club received a grant from Kiwanis Foundation

Lord Botetourt High School Key Club Awarded Grant

During the pandemic disruptions of 2020-2021, which canceled in-person LBHS Key Club activities, an application was completed for a Capital District Kiwanis Foundation Grant. The grant money, designated for programs that provide food for children, was awarded and recently distributed on February 2 to coordinators and volunteers of the local Botetourt Backpack Buddies Program, representing seven elementary schools and ten local churches. Representatives from the Capital District Kiwanis Foundation, Hiawatha Nicely, two-time Lt. Gov and Foundation Vice Pres., along with Father Rich Workowski, Chaplain of the Kiwanis Club of Botetourt County, were present to share information about the Kiwanis Club and to thank volunteer coordinators. Orchard Hills Church provided the meeting space and hospitality for the gathering. In addition, past Key Club President and Division 15B Key Club Lt.Gov Olivia Turner shared information about Key Club, the CDKF grant, and upcoming Division15B service projects.
