XKAR is a science and technology club

We got involved when Jason
needed money to have a
community event to give kids
free rockets and lunch
We put out a challenge
on FB to friends and the community
if 10 people gave $50
my hsb would wear a kilt
and another friend would dress up
in a costume
unfortunately the costume
had not been returned to the costume shop!
Well they ended up with
enough money that
he bought 25 rockets
and the food was donated
We ended up with 30 kids
that were not in the club
setting off rockets
The kids built the rockets
and the adult stuffed the engines in
and set them up
The kids got to push the button
to launch it and then
run after it when it came down
It was such a great day
this smile says it all
this smile says it all
I love when a community gets
together to do positive
things for our youth!
