After a hot breakfast at the last Cheney Kiwanis meeting of the year, our guests had training classes, made shelters for themselves in the forest, and settled down to sleep in the snow. The Cheney Kiwanis guests were 30 cadets from the Civil Air Patrol and U.S. Navy Sea Cadets. They were on an outdoor survival training exercise at Camp Comia. The temperature the night of their campout was about 4 degrees below zero. When you are a Sea Cadet or a Civil Air Patrol Cadet, you must be of strong character. Happy New Year!Friday, December 31, 2010

Kiwanis-EWU Halloween Party 2010
Ghouls and witches, from toddlers through fifth grade, wore their favorite costume two days before Halloween in the Harvest Tour and Carnival at Eastern Washington University (EWU). Co-sponsored by Cheney Kiwanis and EWU, the tour went through EWU buildings and ended in the Pence Union Building Lounge at 4 pm. At that point the children enjoyed Halloween fun, carnival, games and goodies. All of the carnival games were run by CKI (Circle K), Cheney High School Key Club, and Cheney Kiwanis with EWU contributing popcorn, and drinks. International students from EWU taught the children origami, the Japanese art of paper folding. In a variety of ways, everyone had fun.
