NATURE PARK GARDEN PLANTING
Meet at the Kiwanis Nature Park to help with some Spring effort in the pollinator garden. We will have 50 small plants to put in the garden. That is the main focus, getting those babies in the ground. Maintenance and weeding comes second. Bring your shovels, work gloves and sunscreen. We have an auger to help with digging if needed. This should be a fun and productive activity for all ages.
FUN SOCIAL – Vineyard
Fun Committee event. Socialize at Stoney Brook Vineyards on June 28 from 1-5pm. Reservations required. $15 per person includes lunch with sides, Kiwanis cookies, and live music from Mark Folks. Wine will be available to purchase. Bring your own chair, and bring a pop-up if you can. This will be a good time to enjoy each other's company. This will also be a good time to invite a non-Kiwanian so they can see the fun side of our Club. Sign up required.
