Thank you to Lee Jones of the newly established Lafayette Chapter of Sleep in Heavenly Peace for speaking to the membership of the Kiwanis Club of Lafayette.

We are excited to support this incredible mission and help ensure that no child sleeps on the floor in our community. The Lafayette Chapter is starting off strong with a $5,000 donation from the Kiwanis Club of Lafayette that will go toward purchasing tools and building beds for children in need.

We look forward to seeing the positive impact this organization will make throughout Lafayette!

We had very special guests at our Kiwanis meeting this week! We were absolutely thrilled to host Nayan Junampally and his mother as our guests. Nayan is the brilliant 6th grader from Edgar Martin Middle School who took home the championship title at the 2026 Acadiana Kiwanis Regional Spelling Bee!

Back on March 6th, Nayan out-spelled tough competition from across eight parishes, clinching his victory on the winning word: "Incompetent" (a word that definitely doesn’t describe his incredible skills!).

Now, Nayan is taking his talents all the way to Washington, D.C. to represent the Acadiana region at the Scripps National Spelling Bee!

The Kiwanis Club of Lafayette couldn't be prouder to sponsor this amazing young scholar. Join us in wishing Nayan the absolute best of luck on the national stage. Acadiana is cheering you on!

Thank you, Jennifer, for your time, expertise, and dedication to the Acadiana area!
