Richmond Kiwanis Club sponsored their 5th Annual Mom's Day Baby Shower at Walmart on Saturday, April 27th.

We estimate that about $2,000 worth of product was donated that day.

Trick or Treat Street - (Signature Service Project):
Our Annual Trick or Treat Street Hotdog Give-Away was held on Halloween night from 5:00 to 8:00 ( we ran out of hotdogs about 7:00). Our club again handed out about 600 hot dogs and beverages in the corner of the City Hall Gymnasium, and watched all of the youngsters come through the event in full-costume fun. We began setting up about 4pm and appreciated all of the help from our club members! Servers, runners to the grill, the grilling crew and hot-dog stuffers (into the buns), along with the handing out detail - and everyone watching the kiddos was the fun of the evening. This is also our "Kiwanis One Day" Project and is one of our Signature Events!
