The Kiwanis Club of Poway and The Ranches is proud to recognize and thank Halcyon Real Estate for their generous sponsorship donation.
Founded by Ginger Couvrette and co-owned with John Couvrette, Halcyon has grown to a team of 17 associates offering services in:
– Preparing and selling homes
– Financial preparedness and home purchasing
– Investment real estate analysis
– Property management
Beyond their professional expertise, Halcyon has shown incredible community spirit by not only supporting our club but also opening their conference rooms for local nonprofits to use for meetings.
We are deeply grateful for their generosity, which helps us continue serving Poway with strength and purpose.
The Kiwanis Club of Poway and the Ranches is excited to extend our sincere gratitude to the Poway Community Foundation (PCF) for their generous sponsorship donation. Their support plays a vital role in helping us continue our mission of serving children and strengthening the communities of Poway and the Ranches.
The Poway Community Foundation is a true champion for our city. They work tirelessly to raise, manage, and allocate financial resources to meet the needs of Poway residents. By collaborating with donors, community groups, local businesses, and government partners, the PCF helps create innovative strategies and meaningful solutions for the challenges our neighbors face.
With their deep understanding of community needs and their commitment to maximizing the impact of every donated dollar, the PCF ensures support reaches the people and programs that need it most.
We are especially grateful for their contribution to this year’s Holiday With Heroes event, helping us spread joy, hope, and holiday cheer to local children and families.
The Kiwanis Club of Poway and The Ranches had a fantastic meeting on November 13, packed with youth leadership, recognition, and treats!
🎓 The Poway High School Key Club took over with enthusiasm and fresh ideas. 🌟 We celebrated our Student of the Month—a shining example of character and achievement. 🧁 And the bakesale auction was a delicious hit, raising smiles and support!
Thanks to everyone who joined in—what a sweet way to serve!
This year’s fall celebration at Old Poway Park was a huge success, and the addition of Trunk or Treat brought even more festive fun to the mix!
Thanks to the creative efforts of Heather Skale, and the generous support of John and Lisa Lingham, we had an enthusiastic crew of PHS Key Clubbers and Aktion Club members handing out treats and spreading joy to families throughout the park.
🍬 Costumes, candy, and community spirit—what more could you ask for? Thank you to everyone who helped make this event a spooktacular hit!
When it comes to community spirit and golden pancakes, Poway’s Original Pancake House sets the bar high! With its rustic Americana charm, family-friendly vibe, and indoor/outdoor seating, it’s a beloved local gem—and a cherished partner of the Kiwanis Club of Poway.
Founded in 1990 by John and Lisa Lingham, after John began flipping flapjacks at age 16, the Poway location has become famous for its extensive pancake selection and signature dishes. But what truly sets them apart is their heart for service.
For over 10 years, the Linghams have generously donated pancake batter for all our club’s breakfasts—fueling events that support the Poway community, local nonprofits, and Camp Reach for the Sky, a camp for children affected by cancer. Their contributions have helped serve thousands of pancakes, making every breakfast extra special.
💙 From all of us at Poway Kiwanis: Thank you, John and Lisa, for your kindness, consistency, and delicious support!
