Strawberry Festival not happening Memorial Day Weekend
–The Village of Arroyo Grande will not be hosting the Strawberry Festival or Strawberry Celebration this month, but residents and visitors can still participate in something significant to commemorate Memorial Day weekend. Merchants in the Village are donating a portion of their sales this weekend to support the Kristin Smart scholarship.
Funded by the nonprofit organization Justice For Kristin, the Kristin Smart Scholarship is a way to celebrate and remember Kristin’s life, hopes, dreams, and ambitions by financially helping other young women realize theirs. The scholarship grants are awarded annually to college-bound female students from San Luis Obispo and San Joaquin Counties. For a minimum of 10 years, the goal is to annually award $2,500 or greater scholarship grants to those selected by the awards committee.

The Newark Kiwanis Club’s Strawberry Festival may be its most popular event, dating back an impressive 37 years, but Kiwanis support of children’s organizations started with the Club’s founding in 1918.
When Camp O’Bannon was founded in the 1920s it immediately became a major beneficiary of the generous Newark Kiwanians. That dedication and vision has helped Camp O’Bannon continue providing local children ages 9-15 with opportunities to build self-esteem and form friendships in a supportive and caring environment.
The Newark Kiwanis Club’s philanthropy includes several funds at the Licking County Foundation, established by or in honor of local Kiwanis members, such as the John Kozak Camp O’Bannon Future Projects Fund to help Camp O’Bannon with capital needs, the B. David Whiteman Scholarship Fund for local high school seniors, and two named endowment funds that honor past members
