Several members of the Taylorville Kiwanis Club spent April 15th at Kiwanis Park during the club’s annual Park Clean-Up Day.

Park co-chairs Larry Kemner and Duane Stock (right) headed up the effort, along with members Brad Davis (center) and Chuck Martin (left).  The 4 spent the day cleaning the pavilion and fire pit, clearing branches in the park and playground areas, and replacing an aging grill and table with new ones.

The Park co-chairs are planning another club Clean-Up Day this summer to do further work on the Park.

Since 1995, the Taylorville Kiwanis Club has spent over $35,000 on construction and upkeep of the Park pavilion, playground, and rest rooms.   The Club is working on additional smaller pavilions for families to enjoy, and considering other ideas to enhance the Park located along Lake Taylorville.

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.
