KINGMAN – The Morning Glories will host a fundraiser, English Afternoon Tea, to be held at St. John’s United Methodist Church, 1730 Kino Ave., Saturday, Sept. 28 from 4 to 6 p.m. Suggested donation is $6 per person
Community & Family Interest Clubs of Mohave County (AZ CFIC) is a non-profit organization that has been in existence for more than 50 years. CFIC currently consists of two clubs of about 100 members: The Morning Glories of Kingman and the Quail from Meadview.
The focus of the clubs is to raise funds for scholarships given to deserving Mohave County high school seniors who are moving on to college. Each year, three to 10 $1,000 scholarships are awarded to seniors to further their education. The number of awards depends on the amount of money members raise during the year. Because CFIC is a non-profit, all monies received are given each year in scholarships. Last year they were able to give out 12 – $1000 scholarships.
The members of the Morning Glories also take interest in other areas of the community by donating to Blessing Bags for Homeless Veterans, the Kingman Food Bank, helping with food and bedding for Mutt Matchers or the Humane Society, and Box Top for Education for Cerbat Elementary School.
Both clubs, Morning Glories and Quail, hold monthly meetings and ask community leaders to speak about new things happening in the community. The Morning Glories hold their meetings on the third Thursday of each month at St. John’s United Methodist Church.
