The Slayton Kiwanis Club has been the sponsoring organization of Scouting in Slayton since the 1950’s. Scouting continues to make an increasingly strong impact on the lives of young people across the country, and right here in Murray County. Scouts is a program for all youth, helping to ensure kids of all backgrounds realize their own abilities and strengths. To ensure that Scouting continues to be a strong program in our community, we are proud to assist with the Friends of Scouting fundraising effort of the Sioux Council. During the next few weeks, Slayton Kiwanis members will be visiting individuals, local businesses and service organizations to ask them to support this worthy cause. As the President of Kiwanis, I would like to ask you to help.
