Welcome to the Dulles Area Kiwains blog!

by: Beryl Young, Dulles Area Kiwanis President

Hello and welcome to the brand new blog for the Dulles Area Kiwanis Club located in Northern, VA. It is my hope to make this a landing page for our current members, prospective members, friends, businesses, and the community at large to learn a little bit about who we are, what we do, and what we hope to accomplish as we look forward.

At the present time the Dulles Area Kiwanis is a 1.5 year old organization comprised of aprox. 20 dedicated members working to make Eastern Loudoun and Western Fairfax counties a better place to live. Our primary focus is currently on working with our service leadership programs in the area: Key Clubs at Dominion and Potomac Falls High Schools and K-Kids Clubs at Hillside and Guilford Elementary schools. Our largest annual fundraiser is a miniature golf tournament where all proceeds go towards supporting their service efforts and leadership development.

We also host other hands on and active service programs including: monthly bingo at Monroe House, a local assisted care facility, helping at the annual Belmont Concert Series, and bagging meals for the Reston Interfaith. We have big dreams about where we'd like to see our club go in the coming years, but we can't do it with out more manpower helping our efforts. We'd welcome any new ideas and new members as our club continues to build, grow, and thrive in the Dulles community. Our next club meeting will be this coming Sunday, February 1st, 3pm at the Cascades Library if you would like to learn more and meet us in person.

I hope when you visit this page, whomever you are, that you will leave comments to let us know you were here or give suggestions for how we can make your experience with our organization a positive one! Here is some food for thought for this week:

As we continue to develop our blog we already have some ideas for posting topics. A few of those include: service spotlight, interclub opportunities, and DAK member of the week. What else would you like to see posted on this site? What would keep you coming back to read regularly?
