Great Bridge Kiwanis shows its appreciation to community



Community organizations that partner with the Great Bridge Kiwanis recently received a total of $7,000 in donations from the club. A reception was held at the Caddy Shack Restaurant in Cahoon Plantation where the Kiwanis club showed its appreciation to the many organizations that help to positively impact the children in our community.
