PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAP! The 2025 Kiwanis “No Sweat” Adult Spelling Bee, a fun-filled, competitive night, is being held on Friday, April 4, 2025, at 7 pm at the First United Methodist Church in Waynesville, NC. It is a major fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club of Waynesville, whose mission is to help the children and adolescents of Haywood County through projects, grants, and scholarships. Haywood County students and schools, Waynesville’s Recreation Park playground, and Canton’s soon-to-be All-Abilities playground have all benefited from our efforts. Please help us continue this important work by supporting the “No Sweat” Bee with your participation and donations. Click here for details.
