Last Saturday was the Fourth of July Parade in Blue Ridge. The “Kiwanis Kruisers” showed up in full force! Thanks guys for representing our club in such a fun way! By the way…next year I may show up on my bicycle…I think I can keep up!
Alex was presented with his own badge for helping with the fair and because he wants to be a Kiwanis member “more than anything”. Thanks all for making his week!
Pictured is Tommy and Mike M. showing their empty pockets after coming home from Vegas! They participated in Kiwanis International Convention last month. They will be reporting in detail to the club at a later date.
