Denise & Curt Edwards-Neff (pic TBD)
Another of our "couples members" since Curt's resent joining of the club in December of 2019. Curt also volunteers with Habitat For Humanity. We're happy to have Curt as a new member, and excited to see what energy and ideas he can bring to the club.

Denise has been a long-time member, her daughter - even a Past-President of another Kiwanis Club, and Denise continues to spread the good deeds of Kiwanis by introducing Curt to the club. Thanks Denise!

Bryan & Debbie Lee (pic TBD)
Serve as a family! That's what Bryan and Debbie do! Bryan, a former President of the club and the current Past-President. He is also a member at Moorpark Presbyterian Church. Bryan has been extremely helpful to the current President and has been the driving force behind Breakfast with Santa for many years.
Debbie, continuing service as a family, is also a member at Moorpark Presbyterian Church, is a past Board member of the club and of another organization called Senior Concerns. Bryan and Debbie also support Baraka Foundation that is dedicated to supporting children on the African continent.
Bryan and Debbie have volunteered with the club for many years, and are always willing to support the Chair of an event and open their home for a club social event.
Ken Simons (pic TBD)
Ken is your perennial politician and businessman that takes time out of his busy schedule to give back to the community in many ways. Currently a Moorpark City Councilman, Ken also sits or has sat on the Ventura County Consolidated Oversight Board, the Moorpark/Simi Valley Boys & Girls Club Board, Ventura County Transportation Commission, and the Cal State Channel Islands Site Authority.
We are always excited to see Ken 'directing traffic' at Breakfast with Santa and then literally directing traffic during the Moorpark High School Ground Hog Day 5k/10k run each year.
Emily Link
Emily has been a long-time member of the Kiwanis Club of Moorpark, and even though she doesn't even live in Moorpark anymore, she's one of the first to spread the good deeds of the club. Emily is a constant face at the Terrific Kids Awards each Friday during the school year, and has been delivering Meals-On-Wheels in Simi Valley every Friday morning for four years.
Emily also has a deep passion for a litter free community, and can be seen picking up trash while on a hike, casual walk or even out with Meals-On Wheels.
Emily always gives a big hug when you see her, and is one of the most outwardly positive and thankful people in the club.
