Update No. 169

The Kiwanis Club and our Hamilton Heights Key Club Chapter have cooked up something truly fun.

Together, they’re hosting a community dance, Dancing with My Hero, this Sunday, March 22, for students and their families in grades K-8. The event features music, face painting, an obstacle course, and plenty of activities to keep families smiling all afternoon.

In classic Kiwanis fashion, it’s more than just a good time; it’s a celebration of service, leadership, and the connections that make our community special. It also gives our Key Club students a chance to jump in, help out, and engage with families across Hamilton Heights while creating memories that bring our community even closer together.

Details and ticket information can be found here.
