Playground Improvements for Mary Bailey Head Start Center
Over the course of two weekends, members of the club gathered to construct and install new sensory boards for the Mary Bailey Head Start Center in Georgetown.
The project was organized by Adrian Thompson who had worked with the center before. A sensory board is an interactive learning and development tool for young children. By having a variety of tools, objects, and textures to play with, kids can experience the different sounds that objects make, attain tactile skills, and develop language as teachers point out the names of objects. A sensory board that was previously installed at the playground was destroyed in an accident a few years ago.
Members installed four different sensory boards as well as a new steel drum at the playground. Time was also spent cleaning up the grounds of the facility.
Hosted by John, club members are invited to tailgate before the game and to stick around to watch the game. Come and go casual social.
Tailgate officially starts 3 hours before kickoff.
Southeast corner of MLJ Jr Blvd and San Jacinto Blvd.
We’re an organization of volunteers serving the community and children of greater Austin, Texas.
Enjoying our afternoon at the Dottie Jordan Nature Festival and giving out coloring books and crayons to the kids and kids at heart.
There’s music, free resources, and fun activities for the neighborhood to enjoy.
It’s always great to have a presence in our local parks, connect with potential partners, and share stories about some of the things our club does in the community.
Get to know our new leaders for the 2026-27 Kiwanis year, starting with our Club President, John; Immediate Past President and Secretary, Chelsie; and our Club Treasurer, Bill!

Hard to believe our club is celebrating 65 years of service to the Austin community!
Did some organizing today and picked up some of our plaques and memorabilia. We’re overdue for a few updates!
