Wade Remembers

I have fond memories of volunteering at the Kiwanis / Record Eagle Ski & Snowboard School over the years.  Helping children learn to ski or snowboard.   Picking them up when they fall and cheering them on!

The Kiwanis Club Ski School not only provides this great service to our community but donates nearly all of the proceeds annually to Mt. Holiday.   Attached is a picture of the 2014 donation to Mt. Holiday of $4,000.

I have very fond memories of starting and working on the Kiwanis Flag Project in 2014.   This was a brand new project/fund raiser for the club.   Many of the Kiwanis members volunteered to make this project a success.   I have great memories of building the flag poles with Jim Massaroni, Greg Weber, Bob Blackmere, & Jim Harris.  (see pictures)   I also enjoyed planting & harvesting the flags during the 4 national holidays with my fellow Kiwanians and their family members.    I remember many times that during our time putting up the flags that people would honk their car horn as they drove by supporting us or stop by and thank us for this is project.  This was a great group effort that provided a strong showing of our club’s and community’s patriotism to our Country and our Veterans.
