The collection is an on-going project of the latter for periodic mailing of needed items to military personnel stationed in Afghanistan.<br \/>\nThe Builders Club is a group of middle school students founded by Kiwanis to inspire the value and merit of participation in community programs and projects. Each year, the club assists Military Moms for a month in the Socks for Soldiers project.<br \/>\nThe intent of the effort is based on the effort to collect black socks for military personnel, but other high-value items &#8211; beef jerky, trail mix, peanuts or foil packets of tuna or chicken \u2013 are welcome items. Collection boxes were located at Kroger\u2019s, Big Boy Restaurant, all Firstbank offices in St. Johns and DeWitt, Cellular Connections, Clinton County Federal Credit Union, PKSA Karate School and Citizens Bank. Those locations were arranged for by the Builder Club workers and were used only during the month of April.<br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/miserybay.usanethosting.com\/wordpress\/wp-content\/gallery\/12may\/kiwanis.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"image\" class=\"aligncenter size-full\" \/><br \/>\nKiwanian Jan Havlik, serving as coordinator of the Builders Club, expressed appreciation to all the businesses which participated as collection points as well as Clinton County Senior Center in providing the space to pack and prepare the mailings. \u201cThe cooperation displayed greatly assisted the Builders Club in its work with the Military Moms. We very much appreciate their willingness to contribute.\u201d<br \/>\nHowever, according to Military Moms director, Deb Gould, the collection is on-going year around, and donations may be made at Cellular Connections in St. Johns.
