New Kiwanis board member

The Kiwanis Club of Tehachapi welcomes Financial Adviser Brandon Billings to its Board of Directors. Billings, of the Edward Jones office at 709 W. Valley Blvd., Ste. B, is a youth sports coach and outdoor enthusiast.

"It's an honor and privilege to be able to serve the community and help it grow," Billings said.

Billings has come up from Bakersfield to assist long-time Kiwanian Ben Graham as he transitions into retirement.

Other officers elected to the Kiwanis club 2020-2021 term at its June 24 meeting were Tina Cunningham, president; Jonathan Hall, secretary; Eve Geisler, treasurer; and Ilona Klar Gaiser, serving a second term as director.

Marriage and Family Therapist Al Gregg is a sitting director.

The club has a booth at the Main Street Tehachapi Farmers Market, where the public is invited to guess the number of acorns in a large jar for a 50/50 fundraiser.
