DAVIE, FL — On March 23, Hollywood Councilman Max Osceola Jr., was invited to attend the weekly luncheon of the Kiwanis Club of Davie, which was held at the Ark Restaurant.
The luncheon began with the Pledge of Allegiance, followed by prayer from various members of the club. After that, club members and invitees participate in a routine “Happy Dollars” collection. During this collection, everyone present donated a dollar and announced what they are happy for that day. Osceola also participated and gave his thanks.
“ I’m thankful to be able to spend time with such a great organization that concentrates in helping children,” he said.
Osceola was then presented with a certificate of thanks to the Seminole Tribe of Florida for being a major sponsor of the 2003 Classic Golf Tournament. He also received a glass eagle trophy.
Thanks to the proceeds of the golf tournament, the Kiwanis Club of Davie was able to raise money to host a Christmas party for the underprivileged children of the community.
Linda Walpole of Kovac Automotive, a member of the Kiwanis Club, announced that at the past Christmas party, the club was able to give away gifts to 249 children, including 109 bicycles. They also handed out gift baskets to all the families and donated 12 decorated Christmas trees.
When asked about Osceola’s participation in the sponsorship, Walpole said, “Max is a wonderful person; he is someone especially fond of helping children.”
Frank Schneider, Treasurer of the Kiwanis Club of Davie, reported that the club was able to make donations to the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, a local Hospice, Horses in Handicap, and Key Clubs for children’s functions.
“ What we get from the golf tournament we give back to the community,” said Schneider, “We’re looking forward to what we can do this year.”
