Northern Columbus Kiwanis held its Easter Egg Hunt on a bright, sunshiny, but crisp Saturday morning in April. The kids were so eager to get started and could hardly wait for the hunt to begin. All the candy-filled eggs were quickly discovered and carefully placed in Easter Baskets in mere minutes. Those kids who were lucky enough to find the hidden camouflage-colored eggs received special prizes. Hot drinks and donuts were available and eagerly purchased. Be sure to be at the Park of Roses next year for another exciting Easter Egg Hunt!
The Northern Columbus Kiwanis “Book Fair was held early March. Donated books are collected year round and taken to local elementary schools. This year, kids at Colerain and Indian Springs elementary schools were excited to select books to keep. Teachers were also welcome to select books for their classrooms. Members of the Whetstone Key Club also participated, eagerly helping kids pick out just the right books. Please Contact Us if you have books to donate. We collect new and gently used books grade level K-8. Thanks for helping us serve the kids!

It was a cold and wet Saturday morning but the Northern Columbus Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt was a rousing success! The kids had a great time hunting for those not-so-well-hidden colorful eggs. In less than 5 minutes all the eggs were safely nestled in their Easter baskets. We were thrilled to see the smiles on the kids’ faces. They were so excited! And so was the Easter Bunny!
