Creating a spotlight on Afghanistan with interesting facts and photos.
Pancake Feed 2003
At the pancake feed, we got to batter up and flip the cakes for the Lincoln Center Kiwanis Club.
Bike Rodeo
At the Bike Safety Rodeo, children brought their bikes to UNL's East Campus and learned how to do tricks while staying safe on their bikes. Key Club students joined in on judging the competitions.
Hanging Map
Key Club purchased a giant wall map that was hung in the aviation exhibit at the Children's Museum. Special thanks to Mark Musick for his wallpaper expertise! :)
Slumberland Christmas Tree Competition
Every year, Slumberland provides a way for non-profit organizations to raise money while conducting a canned food drive. Key Club decorated a tree in zoo school fashion and placed 2nd in the number of canned food items the tree attracted from Slumberland customers. We received a prize of $500, funds that went toward hanging a giant wall map at the Children's Museum.
Kiwanis Pancake Feed 2002
At the annual pancake feed, Key Clubbers flipped pancakes and dished out toppings. Some got really adventurous and joined in the yodeling Kiwanians.
