Touch A Truck

On Saturday, June 15, Junior League will hold our third annual Touch A Truck event at the Waukee YMCA from 10:00 am to 2:00 pm.

Kiddos are able to get in vehicles, sound the horns, and turn on lights and flashers. This year we will have an ambulance, police cars, tractors, and other sports cars! We will also have guest appearances by Surge, Cubbie Bear and other local area mascots.

Please come join us on Saturday, June 15, rain or shine! Tickets are $5/person or $20/family.

Miss Representation

Thank you to all who attended the screening of Miss Representation in observance of International Women’s Day 2013.  Now that we’re all inspired, we encourage you to think about how you can make an impact.
