About this episode

The episode discusses the Clarksville Kiwanis Club's initiatives to promote literacy and support local youth through their annual events.

The Clarksville Kiwanis Club focuses on community service and local youth development through its two signature annual events. The Reading Rodeo promotes literacy by distributing thousands of free books to third-grade students in Montgomery County, culminating in a massive gathering at a local arena. To fund these charitable efforts, the organization hosts a sanctioned professional rodeo in May, featuring elite riders, animal exhibitions, and family-oriented activities. Members Dan Black and Chris Lanier emphasize that these initiatives support additional programs like college scholarships and youth leadership clubs. By combining high-energy fundraising with educational outreach, the club seeks to improve the community one child at a time.
