The Natchitoches Kiwanis Club was explosive as members played a mine field game at their meeting Oct. 19th, 2017. Blindfolded participants were given verbal instructions to navigate a pathway of mine field pictures.
President Dion Boyett announced that Craig Caskey would be taking over the Impact group of the Kiwanis of Natchitoches I-Plan. Caskey gave an update on the Kiwanis One Day service project, Natchitoches 4 in 4. Three area businesses signed up so far, one NSU student group, and a Boy Scout troop, but Kiwanis is still looking for more volunteers.
The goal for the 4 in 4 Service Project is to clean 4 city parks in 4 hours. Easy enough right?
Volunteers will start at Ross Williams Park (1401 Dean Street) at 8 a.m. on Saturday, Oct. 28 and go from there. Volunteers will then head to the next closest parks:
2nd – Ben Johnson Foundation Basketball Courts (616 MLK Drive)
3rd – City Park (300 Amulet Street)
4th – Pierson & Mallett Children’s Park (701 East Fifth Street)
Trash bags, gloves, and grabbers will be provided by the Natchitoches Main Street office. If you or your service organization would like to join in this effort, contact Craig Caskey at Craig.Caskey@emerson.com or 318-548-0608.
In other club news, Emily Settle gave an update on Kiwanis participation with Witch Way to Main Street. The collegiate Kiwanis group, Circle K will join Kiwanis members on Front Street Oct. 31 from 5-7 for a free trick or treating event.
The Kiwanis “Give Back Night” Social Oct. 11 was a huge success for the club’s first attempt at this kind of event. Before closing the meeting, Dion presented the September 2017 Kiwanian of the Month Award to Craig Caskey.
