to be missed—is Friday night’s Birthday Party at the Marriott

will be presented to the House of Delegates for ratification
at

this

membership and the District Board will be charged with executing
it. Colonial
Capital Kiwanis Club Sponsors Headstart School Celebration
Event
by Gil Curl
The Colonial Capital Kiwanis
Club supports the Griffen Yates Headstart program throughout
the year with it's Reading Is Fundamental program.
Kiwanis members volunteer in the classroom
each week to read to the young children. At the end of
each
year,
the club and teaching staff (right) sponsor a celebration
picnic for the kids and parents. The picnic, held on
April 19th this year, was another fun filled event enjoyed
by many from the school. Kiwanis club member, Frank
Dowd, coordinated the event this year.
