The Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis Foundation was founded in 2003 as a tax-exempt 501 (c)(3) organization to be the charitable arm of the Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown.

Simply stated the purposes of the Foundation are as follows:

  1. The Foundation is organized exclusively for charitable, religious, and educational purposes.
  2. The Foundation is organized to receive charitable contributions and to provide the funding that carries out the charitable, religious, and educational objectives of the Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown.
  3. The Foundation is organized to provide such funding either by direct grants and scholarships to worthy recipients or by grants to other organizations that qualify as tax-exempt organizations.

The goal of Your Foundation is to establish a "Corpus"* large enough to draw interest to support activities of the Club.

*Webster says: corpus n. the principal as distinguished from interest or income of an investment.

A seven member Board of Trustees, all of whom are members of the Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown , directs the Foundation. The trustees, their offices, and their terms of service are as follows:

Trustee

Office Term
Kent Buikema Chairman Jan. 2010 - Dec. 2012
Don Ballard Secretary Jan. 2008 - Dec. 2010
Lew Richardson Treasurer Jan. 2009 - Dec. 2011
Bob Barnes* Trustee Jan. 2009 - Dec. 2010
William White Trustee Jan. 2009 - Dec. 2011
Marshall Pearlstein Trustee Jan. 2010 - Dec. 2012
Herb Wilkins Trustee Jan. 2009 - Dec. 2011

The Foundation actively solicits and gladly receives donations honoring Kiwanians for their service or in memory of relatives and friends whom people would chose to remember. Contributions to the Foundation for any reason are tax deductible and will ultimately benefit the children of Williamson County, Texas, and the world. The Foundation’s long-term goal is to build a corpus from which interest can be drawn to further support the charitable work of the Club.

Memorials:  It's never easy telling someone "I care" when a relative, friend or fellow Kiwanian is lost.  You want to express yourself, but words are inadequate.  A memorial may help you convey your emotion and concern.

Tributes:  One the occasions of a birth, anniversary, birthday, or other "happy" event, you may choose to contribute to the Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis Foundation.  This allows you to honor someone while at the same time help children in need through your Sun City Georgetown Kiwanis Foundation.

December 15, 2009

At the December 15 Trustee meeting the Foundation Board of Trustees choose Bob Barnes to fill out the term of Trustee Georgia Hopper, who resigned. Kent Buikema was elected to continue as a Trustee.  Marshall Pearlstein was elected to replace Lydia Rives, whose term as Trustee expired at the end of December.

March 1, 2009 --

At their meeting on February 24, the Foundation Board of Trustees chose Lydia Rives to fill a vacancy created by a resignation.  Lydia will serve until December 31, 2009.

The Trustees also voted to renew a Certificate of Deposit valued at $3,685.00 for six months.  The Foundation now has five CDs in the Club's Corpus valued at over $28,000.00.

 

January 27, 2009 --

The Foundation Trustees wish to thank members of the Club for their generosity and at the same time encourage members who have never given to the Foundation to do so by commemorating a birthday or anniversary or recognizing a fellow Kiwanian's good deed or accomplishment.  Our Corpus now exceeds twenty eight thousand dollars. ($28,000.00) Certainly this is a fine accomplishment, but a club of 140 plus members can do better!

At their meeting on January 13 your Foundation held the annual election of officers.  Kent Buikema was elected chairman, Don Ballard, secretary, and Lew Richardson was elected treasurer.  The term of office is one year.  Trustees on your Foundation include Georgia Hopper, Don Siler, Bill White and Herb Wilkens.

December 01, 2008 --

The fiscal year for your Foundation runs from January 1 to December 31.  Three of our trustees will complete their term of office on December 31.  They are Don Muir, Joe Schmid, and Herb Wilkins.

With the cooperation of the Kiwanis Board, it is our pleasure to announce the Trustees who will assume their duties on January 1, 2009 for a three year term of office.  Herb Wilkins will return to serve a second term, and Lew Richardson and Bill White will join the Board.  Welcome gentlemen!

The other members of the Foundation Board of Trustees are Don Ballard, Kent Buikema, Georgia Hopper, and Don Siler.
