The club will have its first social at 6 p.m. Oct. 23. A location is still to be determined.
The details
Kiwanis club members sponsor over 150,000 community service projects every year. These projects include building playgrounds, restocking libraries, providing school supplies and more. Bastrop's Kiwanis group will choose its service projects based off the needs of the local community.
