Kiwanis members made welcome representatives from Taylorville’s Tommy T.V. at their Tuesday luncheon at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.

Tommy T.V. Co-Producer Molly Smith along with Head of Committee Kavya Patel gave a presentation focused on the upcoming Annual Tommy Awards.  This will be the fifth year that the awards are being presented.

The Tommy Awards is a student-led and community centered awards show.  The program is designed to honor outstanding students, staff and members of the community.  The goal is to recognize people who make a meaningful impact on Taylorville.

With a working budget of $38,000 the Tommy Awards presents a professional appearance as recognition is given to those who have made outstanding contributions to the community.  The evening includes a catered dinner followed by a great program.  This year’s Tommy Awards will take place May 9th in the Taylorville High School Gymnasium.  Tickets for the event can be purchased at www.tommyawards.tv .  For more information visit TommyTv on Facebook of email tommyawards@tcusd3.org .

Kiwanis members were also updated on activities related to the Taylorville Kiwanis Club. Kiwanis Park at Lake Taylorville held a cleanup day and will soon be updated to include a “Corn Hole” area of play. 

As a reminder the Taylorville Kiwanis Club will be hosting its annual “All you can eat” Pancake and Sausage breakfast fundraiser Saturday April 25th.  Serving will begin at 6:30am and continue until 11:00am at the Taylorville Moose Lodge.  All proceeds are utilized to serve local youth activities.
