More than 100 Ames Golden K members and guests recently held their annual Christmas Celebration at United Methodist Church. Ames KHOI radio personality Paul Wierson {pictured} presented “My Christmas Story,” a very poignant, touching, amusing recollection of his many Christmas season memories. Golden K members donated many gifts to assist the Cyclone Country AKTION Club with their initiative to provide gifts to children ages 8-12. These gifts were presented to the AKTION Club during their Tuesday, Dec. 17 meeting. Pictured with the gifts from the left are Golden K members Pete Peterson, Larry Trede, Steve Johnson, Tom Peter, and Larry Vallery.
