SINGING KIWANIANS BRING HOME A VICTORY

Approximately 35 Roanoke Kiwanians and Aktion Club members took the field for the Salem Red Sox-Lynchburg Hillcats minor league baseball game July 27 to lead the crowd in the singing of the National Anthem prior to the first pitch.

It has become an annual tradition for the club to enjoy a summer social at the ballpark and singing the national anthem before the game has become a staple as well. For a tune-up, Past President (and song leader) Tom Miller scheduled a practice session as part of the club’s weekly meeting the day before.
