Kiwanis Projects

Mike, what do you need? I am a President of our local club in LISWD. I have a car show shortly for Kamp Kiwanis. Gov. Joe would love any effort!

Alan and Charlie,

Are you guys members? AWESOME!!!!! Here is what I was thinking in line with the Kiwanis philosophy of helping disadvantaged kids I was thinking of putting a Kiwanis logo on a box car and marketing it to help raise money for kids that are disadvantaged (particularly our newly minted 6/23/2014 Autism Key Club) what do you guys think?

PS.

If OGR would sponsor I'm sure there would be room enough for our logo as well!

Any thoughts?

C'mon Guys and Gals,

I am not a creative person, I am an ideas person. Surely, there is someone among you who could design a decal? Then after we bought some plain box cars. If we had the appropriate pemissions, I'm sure we could do it. How about it, it's for a good cause!

If other's could do it for Breast Cancer, I'm sure it could be done for a Kiwanis Club!

Even if it were not the North Central Club!

Is there some creative interest out there?

(By the way I'm referred to as "Choo Choo" Mike)

Great work Mike with your Kiwanis Club project.

Mike I love Kiwanis but I don't think a Kiwanis boxcar would sell well. I would rather see a "roadnamed" car with maybe a box mention or a little logo on it to attract a wider buying audience. Also I don't think "International" is too liberal with their logo usage. But it is a intrseting idea.

Mike-

Along the same line- We do an annual community layout, and although it is not directed specifically at disabled kids, our community is at the 39.6% poverty level, and that can be a disability in its own. We should chat about what has worked for our layout, possibly you can modify some of our thoughts to work with your project. I sent you an email with my contact info-

I am all about community service.

 I believe we can market a "Kiwanis" car. Weaver is here in Pennsylvania and there is a Kiwanis Club in their town. Charlie I'm sure we can get Internationals approval for the car. Maybe another car instead of a Box car would be a possibilty for greater interest.

an outsider here looking in- but I have to agree with Charlie, as I am not sure what kind of interest there would be for this kind of car, especially as a fundraiser which means about $50 a car (+or-) in order to make about $12 a car. I believe weaver charges $38 a car. 
What about something a little different, a billboard insert for a lionel billboard? I buy up plasticville billboard frames because they fit a business card nicely which is awesome for our community sponsors. Something that you wouldn't get locked in with a high overhead...
