As part of our continual effort to draw people to this year's car show, the Marketing Committee has designed a Kiwanis flier with coupons that we would like to hand out to the surrounding neighborhoods around Pierce Park. We have two opportunities to hand out filers on Wednesday, July 15th at either 1:30pm or 4:30pm.
The 1:30pm group will concentrate on the blocks south of Prospect and the 4:30pm group will do the north side of Prospect. We will meet at the tennis courts and assign streets from there. Depending on attendance, it should only take 30 minutes to an hour for each group. Please click on the link below to sign up for one of our volunteer opportunities:

Quarry Quest was created by a team of community-minded organizations in 1999 to help provide a better understanding of the construction and mining industries while also raising funds for local charitable organizations. The event has grown to be the pride of the community involving over 250 businesses and nearly 1,000 volunteers. In ten years, the event has attracted 150,000 people and raised over $750,000 for the Bay Lakes Boy Scouts Council, Weis Earth Science museum, and other local charities. Quarry Quest has founded and fund the Environmental Field Trip Fund. This was set up to help subsidize the cost of bussing for educational field trips for local schools. The combination of heavy equipment "rides", hands-on learning and unique family fun have visitors saying that Quarry Quest is "the best family outing ever attended!" Our club will once again be supporting one of the food concession stands and we are looking for volunteer to work either the 8:00am-12:30pm (set-up, cook, and serve), 12:00pm-4:00pm (cook/serve, cleanup and warehouse).

Over the years, the Salvation Army has been fortunate to have the loyalty of many who return year after year to help by volunteering their time in a shift or two of bell ringing. |
