Mayor James and Kansas City Parks and Recreation Department announce contest for Mayor’s Nights participants

May 14, 2013 - KANSAS CITY, MISSOURI

Mayor James announces that all participants who register for the Mayor’s Nights events, and pick up their VIP Card at one of the five participating community centers on or before May 20, will be entered to win a limousine ride to and from the CLUB KC kickoff event on May 25th.  Limousine service is donated by Leader Limo.

This summer, the City is doubling its investment in Club KC, totalling $400,000.  This additional investment means that Club KC will run for 12 weeks at five sites across the community. Brush Creek Community Center will host high schoolers both Friday and Saturday nights, Gregg/Klice Community Center will host middle schoolers both Friday and Saturday nights, Hillcrest Community Center will host middle schoolers on Friday nights and high schoolers on Saturday nights, Tony Aguirre Community Center will host middle schoolers on Friday nights and high schoolers on Saturday nights, and Kansas City North Community Center will host middle schoolers on Friday nights and high schoolers on Saturday nights.

Middle school events run from  6-11 p.m. and high school events are from 8 p.m.- midnight.

In addition to Club KC, the Parks and Recreation Department will continue the successful Mayor’s Night Hoops, Night Kicks, and Night Nets. These programs provide excellent opportunities for young people to participate in athletics and learn life skills through complementary educational programming.

Club KC will begin Friday, May 24th. All of the Mayor’s Nights athletics programs will begin June 10th.  Visit kcmayor.org/mayorsnights to register for any of the Mayor’s Nights programs.  Identification/VIP cards will be issued to all registered youth and can be picked up at any of the five community centers.
