The West Wyandotte Library, 1737 N. 82nd, will have local authors available to meet and greet from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 27.
Helen Walsh Folsom will be one of more than two dozen local writers at the Homegrown Reads program. Many of you will remember her as the first executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association. She has written many books with an Irish theme. Stop by, visit with her and the other authors.
Opening day at Wyandotte County Lake is March 5. This year the Leavenworth Road Association will be back serving biscuits and sausage gravy at Davis Hall. We missed a couple years because of icy waters pushing back the opening date. That meant Davis Hall already had been reserved, leaving us out in the cold to cook, and we opted not to attempt that.
But we are back this year, thanks to an incredible fantastic winter. We will be serving until 11:30 a.m.
The menu will be biscuits and sausage gravy, with sausage patties and hash browns, with choice of coffee, milk or orange juice. The adult full portion: two biscuits with gravy, two sausage patties with hash browns and choice of drink, $10. Child or adult half-portion: one biscuit with gravy, one sausage patty and hash browns with drink choice, $5. We will also have some other choices: baked French Toast, pastries, fruit. Hope to see you there.
Our monthly meeting will be March 8 with Dave Clark, city engineer, as our speaker to discuss possible ideas for the second phase of Leavenworth Road project, 63rd to 78th streets. Also there may be another project along 61st.
The potluck meal will be with the Leavenworth Road Association providing meatloaf along with your contributions of covered dishes. The meeting begins with a potluck meal and social hour at 6 p.m. followed by the meeting at 7 p.m. at the Eisenhower Center, 2901 N. 72nd.
Lou Braswell is the executive director of the Leavenworth Road Association. For more information, call the LRA office at 913-788-3988.
