The Taylorville Kiwanis Club watched a video celebrating WTIM’s 70th Anniversary, during the weekly meeting at the Taylorville Moose Lodge on Tuesday.

The video on the history of Taylorville’s first radio station, was put together earlier this year by station president and Kiwanis member Randal J. Miller, along with Neil Hohenstein and Addison Vocks.  It premiered at the Annual Greater Taylorville Chamber Banquet May 6th.

From the time the station was filed for at the Federal Communications Commission, to the many platforms WTIM delivers its local content today, the video took Kiwanis members thru the past 70 years on-the-air.

It was announced that the Kiwanis Club will again hold its annual Kid’s Day fund raiser on the Harrison Corner and at the Wal-Mart Super Center, on Friday and Saturday, September 23rd and 24th.  Proceeds from the annual fund raiser go toward local Kiwanis projects for children and youth, including Coats for Kids, YMCA and high school scholarships, and Kiwanis Park, among many others.

Kiwanis Park Committee co-chair Larry Kemner reported that the floor replacement project at the Kiwanis Park Pavilion has begun, with the original 1995 concrete floor being removed.  A new concrete floor will be installed.  The club’s Foundation is paying half of the 14-thousand dollar project, with monies Kiwanis members received in their recent Park capital campaign covering the other half.

The Taylorville Kiwanis Club is part of a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.  Weekly meetings are held Tuesdays at noon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  For information on the club, go to taylorvillekiwanis.com.
