The Kiwanis Club of Hays is pleased to continue its annual Flag Project in 2024.

Since 2001, Kiwanis Club of Hays has been growing this beloved community project, where flags are proudly flown across the Hays community thanks to so many of its patriotic citizens and businesses. On average, 44 Kiwanis club members, their families, and friends distribute approximately 1200 U.S. flags five days out of the year. These days include Memorial Day, Flag Day, 4th of July, Labor Day, and Veterans Day. Flags begin their distribution at sunrise and are retired before sunset.

Anyone with a home residence or local business that is located within the Hays city limits is eligible to support the Flag Project. 

For an annual fee of $40 per flag, Kiwanis will provide a 3’ x 5’ U.S. Flag, a pole, and provide a plug in the ground to properly display the flag on the specified days. Locations wishing to have more than one flag may email flags@hayskiwanis.com for pricing information.

To participate in the 2024 Flag program, new customers are encouraged to mail a $40 check payable to Hays Kiwanis to P.O. Box 344, Hays, KS 67601 with a new flag agreement, which can be accessed here: <a href="https://clubrunner.blob.core.windows.net/00000100467/en-ca/files/sitepage/american-flag-project/flag-agreement/KIWANIS.Flag-Agreement.2023.pdf">https://clubrunner.blob.core.windows.net/00000100467/en-ca/files/sitepage/american-flag-project/flag-agreement/KIWANIS.Flag-Agreement.2023.pdf.</a>

Invoices will mailed to current Flag Project supporters in April. Customers are encouraged to submit their payment upon receipt of invoices to avoid missing a flag day.

Kiwanis Club of Hays wishes to extend its gratitude to all past, present, and future Flag Project supporters. The Flag Project is the club’s largest fundraiser. 

Approximately $45,000 in proceeds from this project are reinvested back into the Hays community,&nbsp;specifically through programs supporting local youth, local parks, active military, and veterans.

Kiwanis Club of Hays was chartered on May 5, 1953. The club currently has 95 members and meets weekly for lunch on Thursdays at noon at Rose Garden Banquet Hall &amp; Catering. All community members are welcome to attend meetings to learn more information about becoming a member. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.

The Wings of Life World Run is a run/walk held in numerous places around the world on May 5, with each location starting at the same time — 11 a.m. and coordinated universal time (UTC).&nbsp;

In Hays, that means a 6 a.m. start for the Wings for Life World Run at the Bickle/Schmidt Sports Complex.&nbsp;

All entry fees go to <a href="https://www.wingsforlife.com/us/spinal-cord-injury">spinal cord research</a>, said Darren Unrein, operations director at A&amp;A Coors, Hays. The cost to enter is $28 per person.&nbsp;

A&amp;A Coors is the area distributor of Red Bull energy drinks, which is the sponsor of the international event.&nbsp;

"Professional athletes, fun runners, beginners, are all in it together against the virtual catcher car," Unrein said.&nbsp;

The catcher car is on the downloadable registration app available on the&nbsp;&nbsp;<a href="https://www.wingsforlifeworldrun.com/en/locations">Wings for Life World Run website</a>, or <a href="https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61556730620944">Facebook page</a>. The virtual car begins moving 30 minutes after the start of the race and "once it overtakes you, you're done," he said. "There's no finish line."

"You walk or run, set your own distance and pace," Unrein said. "You can set anywhere from one mile up to 50 miles, if you're that ambitious. 

"You're not racing against other people. You're racing against the catcher car and your own goal. That's what makes this race different than most."

The Wings for Life World Run is now the largest running event in the world, according to information on its website. People in 195 countries have participated in the past decade, raising the equivalent of more than $47 million.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The first 200 runners/walkers/wheelers to sign up will get a Red Bull lanyard. Prizes of a Red Bull backpack and a metal water bottle will be awarded to the top 10 distance runners. A special prize will be given for first place.

A light post-race breakfast will be served with water and Red Bull available to all participants and supporters.

The nonprofit Wings for Life World Run, now in its 10th year, has funded almost 300 spinal cord injury research projects in 20 countries.&nbsp;

&nbsp;According to the World Health Organization, between 250,000 and 500,000 people suffer a traumatic spinal cord injury every year. 

In the United States, more than 50% of those injuries are the result of traffic accidents, while 24% of spinal cord injuries are from falls.&nbsp;

"They become paralyzed with no feeling in their legs, maybe no feeling in their arms or hands either," Unrein said.

"As a charity foundation, Wings for Life supports cutting edge research worldwide. The big goal is to find a cure for spinal cord injury," he said.

Join us at 3 p.m. Sunday, April 7 at (Trinity Lutheran Church 2703 Fort Street, Hays, KS) for a worship service in the German Language. This service will be similar to services held by the Lutheran Russian-German immigrants who settled in Ellis, Barton, and Russell counties. The Service will be led by Rev. Delvin Strecker. Holy Communion will be offered. There will also be a time to share stories and reminisce. A light lunch will follow the service- both service and lunch open to the public. Lunch-freewill donation.

Rev. Delvin Strecker’s family emigrated to the Barton county area of Kansas from the Lutheran area along the Volga River in Russia. He grew up speaking the Volga German dialect but learned to speak High German and was a high school German teacher until he retired and went to seminary. Even though the Volga Germans who came to this area did not speak High German, the worship services were held in High German because their hymnals, catechisms and Bibles were written in High German. Komm danket dem Heiland mit freudigen Zungen!

Government Surplus Commodities to be distributed in Hays March 26

By LAAH TUCKER Natoma Lions Club

Natoma Lions Club&nbsp;continues to serve&nbsp;with a myriad of projects throughout the year with emphasis on giving sight to the blind around the world, diabetes awareness, disaster relief, and other projects Nationally and locally. Following the tragic death of Wanda Prowse, a Natoma-Paradise-Waldo USD 399 employee, the club members decided to donate proceeds from their annual pancake supper to the Prowse family.&nbsp;&nbsp;American Legion Auxiliary Unit 109 members volunteered to help the Lions members in the Saturday evening project, March 2.&nbsp;&nbsp;Additional volunteers came alongside.

The Natoma community’s acts of kindness in generous donations raised $3,029 for Dan and Colton Prowse during the Natoma Lions Club’s March pancake supper. Local businesses donated $400 to help with the event. Volunteers “flipping” pancakes included Natoma Mayor Rick Dunlap, Lion David Kertz, and Dale Eickhoff, Natoma City Council. The hometown organizations give credence to the Heartland’s heritage of serving others, and the International Lions Club motto: We Serve. For information on the Lions Club contact Lion Shawna Dunlap, club president, 785-885-4478.
