New Coppell Kiwanis Club forms; organizers seek city support for youth service programs
Summary
Residents announced a new chartered Kiwanis Club in Coppell and requested city support for youth leadership programs including Key Club and Builders Club; the organizers invited residents to an inaugural meeting Thursday.
Mercedes Hall and Diane Evans told the Coppell City Council they have chartered a new Kiwanis Club in Coppell and asked for the city’s support in sponsoring youth service and leadership programs.
Why it matters: Kiwanis International-chartered clubs sponsor student leadership programs such as Key Club (high school), Builders Club (middle school) and K-Kids (elementary). Organizers said local chapters help connect students to community service and leadership development.
Details: Mercedes Hall said she was elected charter president and that students at Coppell High School plan to charter a Key Club. She asked the city to support the club’s efforts to create Builders Club opportunities in junior high and K-Kids in elementary schools. Diane Evans invited the public to the club’s first meeting, scheduled for Thursday at 6 p.m. in Corporate Park (651 Canyon Drive, Suite 105).
