The Kiwanis Club of Natchitoches’ guest speakers for their weekly luncheon were Natchitoches Council on Aging (COA) Executive Director Alice Barrios and COA board member Erin Boyt. Barrios and Boyt handed out COA brochures and spoke about the multiple programs available for their senior citizen members who are from all over Natchitoches Parish.

President-Designate Kaitlyn Hamm spoke about the upcoming Kiwanis Color Run and Pancake Festival happening on Saturday, October 9th. This event is the Kiwanis club’s primary fundraising effort for their service project budget. The 1 mile and 5K sign up are now live on the Facebook event as well as on runsignup.com.

President Craig Caskey asked the group to be thinking about who in their network would make a great Kiwanis member.
