Community Corner
Stop by the Community Corner on Third Street, south of Court Ave. to find out what is happening in Greater Des Moines (DSM). Local charitable organizations — welcomed as Saturday Salutes at The Market — promote learning opportunities, Downtown events and community resources each Saturday. This week, check out these Saturday Salutes:
- Scouts: Should "funny" be added to the 12 points of the Scout Law? Come to the Scouts Be Funny Variety Show to decide for yourself and to learn about the value of Scouting for the whole family. The show is hosted by Donald Gee, an Eagle Scout, young adult leader, Iowan, and engineer. The inspirational show includes comedy, games, stories, music, interviews, guest performances, audience fun and more. Think of it as the Tonight Show earlier in the day if Jimmy Fallon were a Scout. We hope to see you at the show!
