Peanut Day November 14, 2009
Every year, the Kiwanis Club of Camarillo has its annual Peanut Day to raise funds for our charitable works. Through our exclusive supplier, we purchase cases of nuts to hand out for free on Peanut Day in front of local stores. Passers-by are encouraged to make donations to Kiwanis in the process.
This year’s Peanut Day is November 14, 2009. This is a one-day event and once the nuts have all been handed out, it’s over until next year.
This November 14, 2009, if you’re out and about and see a Kiwanis volunteer handing out nuts, please think of the good work we do to change the world one child and one community at a time and make a charitable donation. We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that performs community service work for the benefit of the citizens of Camarillo.
If you are a Kiwanis member and are available to volunteer on Peanut Day, please contact Joe Dilibert or Ted Williams. Their contact information is on our Service Projects page.
