Due to COVID 19, the club shut down its weekly meetings through April 2020, at which time, meetings resumed at the picnic shelter at Kiwanis Park where social distancing could be practiced and masks were required. Most of the club’s activities continued to function during the. shutdown. Due to the need for food, the Head Start backpack program, which normally shuts down during the summer, continued to operate all year.
