Speaker: Kathryn Orzech - author
Kathy was born and raised in Meriden, where she attended St. Stanislaus Catholic School and Francis T. Maloney High School. She attended Paier School of Art in Hamden and has also taken eclectic courses at Middlesex Community College.
Kathy has published Asylum, a dark suspense saga, spanning four generations of family drama, secrets and betrayals. On line since 1997, her website, Dreamwatch.com, a site dedicated to true paranormal experiences of ordinary people, inspired the plot for her contemporary psychic thriller, Premonition of Terror, when she wondered: "What if premonitions from around the world predicted the same catastrophe? If only you knew about it, who would YOU tell? If no one believed, how far would YOU go to stop it?"
This promises to be an interesting luncheon program and we are honored to host one Meriden's successful authors. Hope to see you there!

Signature Fundraisers
Kiwanis raises important funds to help kids and others in need through our many signature projects and community donations. All proceeds of our signature fundraisers support Kiwanis projects and programs right here in our local community.
Cow Chip Raffle (“Cow Plop”) – November
For just $10, you can purchase a one square yard “Plop Plot” of our cow chip raffle pasture. Two cows will be turned out to pasture and the owners of the plots where the cows drop the first two “true plops” will win a cash prize. Proceeds support the Kiwanis Foundation of Meriden and Kiwanis’ annual education awards for graduating high school seniors.
Kiwanis Komedy Night – March
Kiwanis Komedy Night provides some great laughs as we raise money for children in our community. Join us for a night of fun with three outstanding comedians, a silent auction, and a 50/50 drawing.
Fried dough at the Daffodil Festival
Don’t miss Kiwanis’ fried dough booth under the big tent at the Meriden Daffodil Festival! Enjoy a piece of our famous fried dough topped with sauce or sugar as you stroll among the daffodils, craft fair, amusement rides, and concerts.
Strawberry Shortcake Sale – May or September
Enjoy our delicious, homemade strawberry shortcakes while supporting Kiwanis’ projects and programs. Desserts can be picked up or orders of 6+ can be scheduled for delivery to the Meriden/Wallingford area.
