Congratulations to August Citizens of the Month Ashlyn Mitchell and Jacob Wright who kicked off that program for this school year. Sabrina Wright and Jeff Martin accompanied the students to the meeting. Town and County Bank and Century Bank are supplying $50 savings bonds for our students again this year.
We have been invited to participate in the Fall Farm Classic & Demolition Derby Sept. 24 at the fairgrounds. We will be selling funnel cakes, bottled water and iced tea from 4-10 p.m. on that day. Proceeds will go to worthy programs we support.
After that event, our booth will be moved to the football field where we will partner with Project Graduation helping them raise money at the last three home games of the season.
Member Denise Reese has been faithful in watering the flowers we planted at the park earlier this year. If you’re at the park, stop by and check them out!
Plans are under way for Kiwanis Kids Day which has been set for Oct. 1, 10 a.m. until 2 p.m. If your club, organization or business would like to participate in the event or make a monetary or product donation, please contact Donna Dixon at 683-1918 as soon as possible.
We are also making plans for our Club Officer Installation which is scheduled October 20 at 6 p.m. at Highway House Cafe. We are discussing what type of program to have on that night. Final plans should be announced very soon.
We now have a variety of Really Big Coloring Books at Ozark Family Vision Center. These big books are $4 each and would make great birthday or Christmas gifts. All proceeds from the books will go toward our Christmas For Kids project.
If you’ve ever thought about joining Kiwanis Club of Ava or would like more information, come to a meeting very soon and see what we are all about. If you join in September, your membership will just be $6 and is good until September 30. You can decide whether or not to renew for another year at that time.
