Adel Kiwanis - 2021 Easter Egg Fundraiser
The Adel Kiwanis will "egg" your FRONT yard with candy-filled eggs the Saturday night before Easter (4/3) so you can have your own personal hunt on Easter morning. Adel addresses (city or rural) only at this time. Please contain any pets.
We would ask that you tell kids that the Kiwanis placed the eggs and not the Easter Bunny in case they (or the neighbor kids) see or hear the crew placing eggs.
We would hate to have our fundraiser create any confusion about the Easter Bunny for your family or others. In case of inclement weather, a package of filled eggs will be delivered to your door for an indoor hunt. Order Your Easter Eggs Today
Thanks for supporting the Adel Kiwanis so that we can continue to provide opportunities for kids and families in the ADM community.

Survey on Future "Water Tower Park" Sports Complex
The City of Adel recently purchased 40 acres of land just west of the Adel Family Aquatic Center and south of the new ADM Elementary School.
This land will be the location of a future Sports Complex and Park. We are in the preliminary stages of this project and are working with a consultant company to develop a concept master plan.
This is where your feedback comes into play. We would like to gain a sense of what the citizens feel is important and needed within our community.
The survey will help us gauge the community's priorities and desires. We will then take this feedback into account when creating a conceptual layout of what the complex and park would entail.

Recipe from Home -
Gram's Hot Crossed Buns
My Gram was known for this recipe at Easter. She would "test" bake these the entire week before Easter, each time saying that she wasn't sure that they were as good as they could be. My cousins, Aunt and Uncles would all take another two or three just to be sure. She never made a bad batch. On Sunday she'd get up early and bake dozens of these buns, feeding friends, relatives, neighbors, and visitors from across the state. - Enjoy!
