The Kiwanis Club of Eau Claire, a local branch of the worldwide service organization that focuses on improving the lives of children and their communities, recently celebrated its 100th anniversary by donating more than $100,000 to help children in the Chippewa Valley. The Kiwanis Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum, Acres for Joy, and the Eau Claire County Foster Children program are the recipients of the funds, the club said in a press release. The Kiwanis Paul Bunyan Logging Camp Museum in Eau Claire’s Carson Park will use the funds for renovations that will allow the museum to accommodate large pieces of historical logging equipment. Acres for Joy, a nonprofit that provides equine-assisted learning, mentoring, and outdoor activities for children, will use the funds for riding lesson scholarships, a new wagon, and toward the construction of a new barn. The Kiwanis Club’s donation to foster children in Eau Claire County will provide them with bikes, scooters, and helmets.
