Dictionary Project 2020-21 - (Service Project):
Richmond Kiwanis purchased and stickered about 150 brand new dictionaries and then delivered them to the third graders at Sunrise Elementary and at the Hardin-Central Elementary Schools this school year. The principals at both buildings ensured safety of the students by having us deliver the books and the teachers handed them out. Sara Seidel was to lead a short lesson at Hardin (she is a teacher) but at Sunrise, the teachers handled the short lesson due to their Covid-19 restrictions on visitors.

RECENT EVENT -
The 10th Annual Bill George Classic Kiwanis Golf Tournament (2020) -
The Club held its annual Bill George Classis golf tournament at Shirkey Golf Course in Richmond Missouri on Thursday, September 24, 2020. However, with the pandemic of Covid-19 virus, we changed the entire format of the tournament and were invited to join our tournament effort with the American Junior Golf Association for this 4 person scramble with a preliminary AJGA Junior (total of 5 players per team). The AJGA also held it's full junior golfer tournament on Saturday / Sunday. We helped with the Thursday events, including a "Hole Challenge" and also had our Online Silent Auction - a totally different event from the past as we had Facebook "Live" bidding as well as local bidding. At this moment, results have not been given for the success.
For our sponsors: Thank you for your continued support of Richmond Kiwanis, so that our efforts to help the children and youth of our community will be ongoing. We appreciate your contributions.
