Hope Markes attends reception, Circle K rally at Michigan State University

EAST LANSING, Mich. (News 10) - The Kiwanis Club of East Lansing hosted Kiwanis International President Hope Markes, who has been involved with the volunteer organization for nearly three decades.

During her visit to mid-Michigan, Markes attended a reception in her honor and a Circle K youth program rally on Michigan State University’s campus.

Markes said Kiwanis focuses on improving the lives of children, one community at a time.

“Once you see what we do, as long as you have a heart for helping people, you have a heart for, you know, charity, for fun, for service, for fellowship, you will stay,” Markes said. “But come through the projects. See what we do.”

Kiwanis was founded in Detroit in 1915 and has hundreds of thousands of members worldwide.
