'Affair' Tugs at Heart Strings and Guitar Strings
The Citizen of the Year honoree wound up on stage playing guitar.
Last night, the Maplewood Rotary hosted its major fundraiser of the year — Affair of the Heart — at the Woman's Club of Maplewood. The event played out like a who's who of Maplewood, with everyone from the mayor to many business owners and active community volunteers. The robust attendance had something to do with the fact that the event has a great reputation, but it also didn't hurt that the Citizen of the Year honoree was a man who not only does good but is well liked — Tom Kerns, co-founder of the HK Community Fund.
By the end of the evening Kerns ended up on stage playing guitar with Chris Dickson, another relentless local do-gooder.
The enjoyment of the attendees and honoree is evident in our photos here as well as those on the Rotary Facebook page found in the Affair of the Heart album.

You are now holder of the most good karma points in town.
Dickson, you're closing in there too.
Keep on keepin' on boys.
