I hope you had the chance to attend the annual Kiwanis Concert on the Green at The Landings soccer field on Sunday night. It was without a doubt, the most pleasant afternoon/evening -- blue skies, slight breeze, great food, conversation and entertainment.

The Savannah Arts Academy provided the entertainment with their Skye Lite Jazz Band. What a group of kids! They played and sang their hearts out and provided the perfect venue for an excellent evening under the stars. With selections like Bandstand Boogie, Route 66, Fish & Grits, My Funny Valentine, Blue Skies, the crowd was tappin' and swingin' along. Where else can you see such a talented group of high schoolers, enjoy the company of your Landings neighbors and friends, enjoy a picnic on the green, look at antique cars, and be supporting such a worthwhile charity all at the same time! Under the direction of teacher, Michael Hutchinson, the kids performed to perfection.

The highlight of the evening was when the band played the finale - America! A hush fell over the crowd while hundreds of Landings residents stood to their feet to honor America.

By the end of their 20th year in 2008, Kiwanis will have donated $1,000,000 and 275,000 volunteer hours to the organizations they support.Thank you Kiwanis of Skidaway for a great night and for 20 years of extraordinary service!
