Volunteers needed on Friday, April 18, 2025 for what will hopefully be the 1st annual “Do Good” spring clean up day for Kensington. Many hands make light work!

Please contact Brooke McDowell and 785-476-6191 if you have a basic yard clean up need or for more information. This event is sponsored by the Kensington Commercial/Community Club.

KAY Hosts Rock ‘n’ Roll 

The Thunder Ridge KAY hosted their annual girls rock boys role event last Saturday. 30 youth  attended and 28 KAY members helped. It was a fantastic turnout where kids enjoyed a morning of playing with their high school heroes. By watching them play, the high schoolers had just as much fun as the younger kids. From hair and nails, crafts,  baseball, dodgeball, pull up contests, scooter races, and different variations of duck duck goose, everyone had a blast!

All money raised will be given away to a family in need. We are blessed to live in a community that supports each other so well! KAY is always proud to serve others!
