Kiwanians Michael and Jacqueline Broder, Ron Paulus along with Keith Underwood and his nephew pitched in to help construct this much needed building. The power was out at Camp Westmoreland following the storms of Saturday evening (11/18/17) so the crew couldn't' finish putting up the batten strips. Trevor did get a couple of coats of paint on the building and it is starting to look great!  A couple more hours of work, a little more paint, and the camp will have another 1st class building that will serve our area's Boy Scouts well for years to come! 2017 Scholarship Offers from Florence Kiwanis Club In keeping with the Kiwanis goals of investing in our community and our future community leaders, the Florence Kiwanis Club is proud to announce that we will again be awarding scholarships to deserving students in the Florence area.
