Books For Bikes
Bikes for Books is an initiative that the Saskatoon & District Kinettes created. We partnered with one community school and added a second in 2014, to promote reading, specifically an improvement in reading levels between January and June. The entire school takes part, divided as follows: Grades 1-4 and Grades 5-8. Two winners are then chosen from each group, one boy & one girl. The top winners, along with their parents are taken shopping for a brand new bike, helmet and lock. The runner ups are given a backpack with books & school supplies.
Kin Manor
Our club has a long standing partnership with Elmwood Lodge (Kin Manor). On the third Thursday of each month, our service directors plan a craft for our club to do with the residents at the lodge.

Continuing with our annual fundraising efforts this year, the proceeds from our travel voucher raffle will go towards The Saskatoon Crisis Nursery and The Saskatoon’s Mother’s Centre.
