Kiwanis Rough Risers, Serving the needs of children in the Cedar Valley
08/12/2026
Kevin Droe, Director of the UNI Spectrum Project, brought our program today. The Spectrum Project brings together children of all abilities, UNI students from diverse fields, and the community to co-create music, drama, dance, and art. Our mission is to expand arts access, celebrate creativity, and inspire more inclusive communities.
On July 22, our program was provided by Karla Altenbrenner, who manages the sheriff's canine dog, Mary. She is a crisis response/therapy dog who works with people at stressful times. Karla shared that when there was a su***de in a neighboring school district, Mary was with the kids all week, and could actually sense which kids needed a dog to pet, to cuddle, or simply to lean into.

Our Sturgis Falls Kettle Corn for Kids project was extremely successful this year. We popped over three days with 358 volunteer hours by 19 Rough Risers; 68 hours by 11 non-Rough Risers.
We also were part of a ribbon cutting from Grow Cedar Valley who showed up in force with their purple jackets and welcomed us as part of the organization.

It's been a few weeks since we posted some club activity. We are in the heart of our Kettle Corn popping season - some for area schools and some to raise money for our club.
We have also had some outstanding speakers. A member of the Waterloo Exchange Club talked about their involvement with AFIL and creating a Memorial Day Flag presentation.
Jennifer Bainbridge from Re/Max Realty talked with us about the challenges of the real estate market.
Cory Hurless, from the Hearst Center for the Arts, brought information about their summer programs.
Our own Bob Dickinson shared a historical perspective on time pieces and what makes them Tick Tock.
