Tehachapi Community Theatre (TCT) has graciously given the Kiwanis Club of Tehachapi 60 tickets to the opening night of "The Best of Broadway" concert on Friday, March 24. Tickets are being sold to raise funds to help Kiwanis Club of Tehachapi do what they do best: Help local kids.

Tickets are $25 for adults, $15 for children, and it includes dinner. The Kiwanis Club will be serving George's Famous Chili, spaghetti, salad, and dessert at 6 p.m. inside Friendship Hall, at 100 East E St. in Downtown Tehachapi. The show will be at the BeeKay Theatre, 110 South Green St. Doors open at 7 p.m. for the 7:30 p.m. show.

Tehachapi Kiwanians donate to the local Salvation Army's after school program, help host Breakfast With Santa, raise funds for Coats for Kids, grant scholarships to local high school seniors, put on the local Prayer Breakfast on National Day of Prayer (May 4), donate personalized books for kindergarten children, support the local Key Club (a high school organization sponsored by Kiwanis International), and much more.

This event is a great way to have a fun evening on the town while helping Kiwanis at the same time.

Tickets are available from local Kiwanis members and at The Loop newspaper office at 206 S. Green St. in Downtown Tehachapi.
