Charlotte Prep Builders Club, sponsored by Port Charlotte Sunrise Kiwanis, held a Recycling Project as a Fundraiser for Peace River Wildlife Center - PRWC located at Ponce De Leon Park. A trailer was parked at Charlotte Prep 365 Orlando Blvd, Port Charlotte, on Wed. February 28th, and Thurs. March 1st. and donated supplies were dropped off and filled the trailer. Peace River Wildlife Volunteers and "Ambassadors" shared with the students to thank them for their efforts, and educate them on the animals, and the care they provide. Publix made a donation to the club, so the students that participated also received an ice cream treat at the end of the day.

Port Charlotte Sunrise Kiwanis begins its annual Shoes For Kids-Sunrise Kiwanis collection and donations campaign. Join us at the NAVIGATOR GRILL (Just east of Lake Suzy off Kings Highway in Desoto County) for this Saturday's FUNDraiser. Last year Sunrise Kiwanis collected and distributed over 6,000 pair of shoes to our needy school kids. Bring a new pair of kid's tennis shoes and "Fill the Boat!" Paul Roush will be the featured singer!
