Twelve brave Kiwanians from Ames Golden K braved 40 mph winds on Thursday afternoon (5/15) to complete
the scheduled cleanup of our county assigned “Adopt a Road” two mile segment by Holubs on east 13 th Street.

Our mission was accomplished in just over an hour – thanks to Mark’s organization and Jim’s pickup assistance.
