Besides offering its own members as volunteers, the club receives help from other organizations, including service clubs, a local car dealership, Manitoba Public Insurance, and a school's parent group. The volunteers come back year after year because it's a fun service project. Now, if chauffeuring inebriated people sounds unappealing, understand that most of the patrons aren't babbling drunks who are out of control. They're usually very happy and can carry on a conversation. Not only are they usually coherent, but they are grateful.
Many patrons tip graciously for the service.
We got into it because it sounded like a good service project. As for public image, the club is much better known now due to posters and television promotions. And this publicity essentially was free. Our name is a lot more popular now, because everywhere people go, there are posters. On-Line Community Copyright 2001, Kiwanis International.
