The RKC Kiwanicle is a publication chronicling in words and pictures the activities of the Rosemead Family of Kiwanis (RFK) groups.

The RFK presently includes: Rosemead Kiwanis, RHS KEY Club, Don Bosco KEY Club, Muscatel Builders Club, and San Gabriel Valley Aktion Club. It is our hope that in the near future there will be additional clubs added to this list.

The Kiwanicle is produced and distributed via e-mail to members of the above groups; it is also posted here as a matter of historical record for those interested.
