Friday, May 21, 2010, will be the 32nd edition of the Kiwanis
Special Games. The Games are perhaps the Los Altos Kiwanis Club's most important community
service project. Established by the Los Altos Kiwanis Club, the games are
now produced by all of the Kiwanis Clubs of our
Kiwanis Division
34. Well over 900 severely challenged kids from more than 50 area schools
participate. The games are simple, but competitive, and
carefully matched to the abilities of the participants. The children look forward to
our Kiwanis Special Games all year. It's the one occasion when they are
able to excel and find themselves at the center of attention because
of their positive accomplishments. It takes about 800 volunteers to
run the games, including Kiwanians, Key and Circle K Club, teachers, and volunteers
from the community.
