A celebration of service

Service clubs in Kirksville, Missouri came together on Tuesday, November 24 to celebrate their commitment to service in the community.  This year the Kirksville Optimist Club  hosted the annual event.  Other clubs participating were Kirksville Women of Today, Kiwanis International of Kirksville, Rotary Club of Kirksville, Quota International of Kirksville, Sojourner's Club, and Kirksville Thousand Hills Rotary Club.

The clubs come together annually to share fellowship, stories and accomplishments and to outline goals for the future.  "This is an opportunity for everybody to get together and just be happy about what we do," explained master of ceremonies and Optimist Club member Scott Meredith.

We're happy about what you do too.  Thanks for sharing your commitment with others
