These projects happen only once a year, so don't miss them!
Kiwanis Shrimp Feast (September) - Help out at this Kiwanis fundraiser and eat all the shrimp you want! Guaranteed to be a good time.
Make a Difference Day (October) - Sponsored by the Office of Student Volunteer Services here on campus, this is the day that groups of students all over campus work on various projects throughout the Williamsburg area.
Spring into Action Day (March) - Like Make a Difference Day, only it takes place in the Spring!
Strike Out ALS! (April) - This is a fundraiser to help "Strike Out" ALS! The actual event is a Tribe baseball game, but a lot of preparation and fundraising occurs before hand!
Lobster Distribution (November)- Join the Kiwanis family in distributing live lobsters to people! Learn some cool facts about these creatures and enjoy some fun fellowship with fellow Kiwanians.
And many more!
