Community calendar update
The Easton Kiwanis Club is unable to put together the Easton Community Birthday Calendar this year, so a group is being sought to take over the project. The calendar has been a good fundraiser, but requires a significant amount of work. If another organization would like to be responsible for the calendar, Kiwanis Club members are willing to help them get started. For more information, contact Keith or Esther at 488-6101.
