WALKING FOR WATER — The Cloverdale High School Key Club hosted its first annual Save the Rain-Bow Color Blast on Sept. 15. According to Key Club Advisor Sue Cummins, the blast had a total of 21 volunteers (from the Kiwanis Club, Key Club and Builders Club) and 64 participants. Blast attendees of all ages ran, walked and jogged their way through stations of colored cornstarch. The Key Club raised approximately $1900, which will go toward bringing clean water to 125 children in Africa.
