Sedalia Kiwanis

You might not realize this, but Boyfriendo and The Girls are very competitive.  Which kind of makes it a little strange that I'm not.  They love to play games together.

If you're like me, you're in your mid-thirties, chubby and not that hep to the latest trend.  But, if you're also like me, you're a person who loves a little friendly competition - particularly when it's not too arduous.   But if it's mentally challenging, then boy howdy, I'm there. The Sedalia Kiwanis wanna challenge you with their Trivia Night coming up on the 23rd.

In years past, the annual Firefighters Memorial Motorcycle Ride has been something our town has looked forward to. This year, the ride was expanded to include a whole day's worth of events that took place all over downtown Sedalia.

The Sedalia Kiwanis will be having a Card Party on Saturday to play some Pitch and Hand and Foot.  The Kiwanis is home to some of the the largest youth service programs in the world. Their local clubs programs empower elementary school students, tweens and teens to make an impact through service and leadership.  They also help a lot with our local charities that get overlooked, and that's what thi

Kiwanis tries to serve children and youth using two approaches. One attempts to improve the quality of life directly through activities promoting health, education, etc. The other tries to encourage leadership and service among youth. They're going to be funding those goals with a great event coming up: their Trivia Night.

The Sedalia Kiwanis are always working to do everything they can for our kids and others in need. They're working to stay busy and get busier, recruiting volunteers and fundraising left and right.  They're doing some great stuff coming up this weekend, and next weekend, to that purpose!

One Saturday Sept.14, the Sedalia Kiwanis Club will sponsor a child seat safety event. When I was a kid, I remember standing up in the front seat of the car and explaining to my mom that I couldn't sit down, because I was from Mars.  Aliens don't need seat belts, you see.  She, um, did not take that lightly.

Kids, when I was young, I have memories of stuff that I did that would surely make most responsible mothers and fathers blush, or at the very least shake their heads and look disapprovingly at me.  While I was never a real rebel or a person to get in trouble, I guess things were just different in the 80s and 90s.
