Raytown Kiwanis Golf Tournament A Big Success
Raytown Three Trails Kiwanis held its 5th Annual Joe Herndon Memorial & Benefit Golf Tournament at Hillcrest Golf and Country Club on June 21, 2014. Seventy-two golfers started out with a delicious pulled pork lunch by Rich Bartow, Dr. Allan Markley’s best friend. Special guests were former Kansas City Royals baseball players, Willie Wilson and Greg Pryor, and Bob Dernier who played for the Philadelphia Phillies and the Chicago Cubs.
The golfers enjoyed a windless 90-degree day and goody bags, chips and salsa at the end of the tournament, and prizes. Kiwanis members who volunteered were Martha Cockerell, Elaine Swartz, Gayla Faelske, Jason Hanson, Brian Huff, Brenda Gustafson and Allan Markley. The tournament netted $6,500 that will be used for service projects that benefit and involve students in the Raytown School District, such as the TERRIFIC (Thoughtful, Enthusiastic, Re-

ages. The event will feature free refreshments and live demos of its artisans turning clay on a wheel,
working wood on a lathe, creating paper filigree art or quilling, crafting polymer clay and more. Every purchase from the shop that day will enter buyers into a prize drawing for a class or merchandise. Sign up for the Tie Dye Bash on the following day, June 29,

a darling retail shop of handmade arts and crafts that also offers a variety of art classes. Owner, Debbie Luttrell, a crafter with many skills but specializes in polymer clay, wanted to retire from the shows. She conceived the idea of having “a place for arts and
crafts” where she could sell her creations and offer classes to the public. Earlier this month, she offered
a silk scarf class for $20. Sign up to receive the monthly newsletter by email for upcoming classes in July that include jewelry making, polymer clay and creating oil lamps. Fantasy and mythical artist, Samantha Nowak, from Bonner Springs will teach comic art in a two-day class she
calls “Bam Kapow” on July 15 and 16 from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. The cost is $40. Creation Station offers rental space for artisans for only $25 a month and they keep all sales.
