Racing in the Rouge

BILL BRE5LER | STAFF PHOTOGRAPHER Rubber ducks shared the Rouge River with canoes, kayaks and paper boats as the Wayne community celebrated its most prominent feature, the Rouge River, with the second installment of Rouge-A-Palooza. Volunteers kept the ducks moving in the rubber duck race and shepherded paper boats in the Wayne Rotary race. The largest of the events was the Logjam Canoe race along a 3-mile stretch of the Lower Branch of the Rouge through the city of Wayne. For more photos, see the Rouge-A-Palooza photo gallery on the Wayne-Westland Observer page at www.hometownlife.com .

Garden City Kiwanis Club gives Abbie Briscoe crowned GC Homecoming queen third-graders gift of words Giving the gift of knowledge has become a tradition for Garden City Kiwanis Club members. “Every year, the Gar­ den City Kiwanis makes the rounds to all the third-grade classes in Garden City and distrib­ utes dictionaries to each student,” President Julie Slabaugh said. Recently, members Ken Hines, Pete Tavor- mina, Cheryl Rasmus­ sen, Dave Sosnowski and Slabaugh visited St. Ra­ phael School to give each child a dictionary. The service opportu­ nity is one of several performed by the club. The club also holds K i­ wanis Kids Day in the Park every year. It also helped with Kiwanis Town, a group of play houses set up outside of the Lathers Early Childhood and Kindergarten Center. They have also collected baby shower items for the Welcome Baby Bas­ kets handed out at the Family Resource Center to expectant and new parents. JULIE SLABAUGH By Sue Buck Garden City Kiwanis Club members annually distribute dictionaries to third-graders to promote literacy. They visited St. Raphael School last week.
