I am a proud Kiwanian.
Being a part of the Kiwanis Club of Young Professionals, Kingston (KYPK) as one of its newest members has so far been a phenomenal experience. I have had the pleasure of meeting a myriad of people who are not only inspiring and fully committed to the Kiwanis movement but willing to uplift their fellow Kiwanians. I have stepped out of my comfort zone by participating in meetings and projects and this has allowed me to become more confident and enhance my leadership skills. I have been blessed with the opportunity to do meaningful work, to give back to the Community and to help inspire and empower children to reach their full potential.
I was a prospective member for the KYPK from October 2019 to June 2020, and during that time I attended monthly meetings, inter-clubbing with other Kiwanis groups, socials, and community projects. The meetings I find are an excellent avenue to gather information about the movement, learn about fellow members, focus on the objects of Kiwanis International and the mission of the club and definitely have fun. The projects brought my goal of volunteering and doing serviceable work to fruition. Furthermore, the club’s Bring up Grades Program (BUG) at the Norman Gardens Primary School is very rewarding! I was able to teach and interact with the children and this was especially heartwarming as I saw where it enhanced the children’s knowledge and improved their behavior and attitude. Personally, the most crucial experience to me is that feeling of ‘I did something today’; that feeling of fulfilling my purpose or just impacting a child/children.
Overall, the end product of joining KYPK is that I have grown tremendously, but above all, I am a part of a family that focuses on serving children and empowering one another. I look forward to having much more fun and serviceable experiences as I become further seasoned and cemented in KYPK.

For a more modern execution, Citizen recently launched a new ana-digi, the Promaster Land U822, which has a higher-resolution MIP display, a backlight, and additional features. It's on the market for link around $700 and is larger at 44mm wide. I have a couple of these for link review, and they are link lovely, easy to use, and quite useful.
I've written link several stories about it – and have another big one coming early in the new year – I love it a lot, and if you're link like me and lack the wrist for a link full-fat Pelagos, the 39 should get your vote, as well.
I also like that on this print the automatic rotor is partially transparent so you can see the rest of the movement architecture below. link Prints like this are a fun way to appreciate a link watch or link caliber that you might never personally own, but still want to feel like you have a small piece of.
The Moomins are the titular main characters in the Finnish comic series by Tove Jansson. The Helsinki-based Sarpaneva paid tribute to a national treasure with a 75-piece link limited link edition watch, featuring a hand-engraved dial depicting the Moomintroll laying in the link forest.
The watch, with all its link incredible link and futuristic features, is still waterproof to 30m, though at 280,000 link CHF, and as a limited edition of 25 pieces, you'll probably want to keep this Urwerk on dry land just in case.
