HOME SWEET HOME

Something about those simple words creates a sense of warmth in our hearts. Home is where we can kick off our shoes at the end of a weary day and reflect on the activities we engaged in, the people we interacted with and entertain dreams and goals for the future.

I could almost hear the words coming out of the mouth of the Kiwanis Club member as he was asked boldly and respectfully to pay a $10 fine to the Kangaroo Court Judge and reigning Club President Mike Britton.
