The club is celebrating 40 years of Service Above Self and remains committed to local action while contributing to global vaccination efforts.

Osceola Arts unveiled the vibrant 'Wings of Community' mural at the Orange Gardens Community Center in Kissimmee last Thursday with a ribbon-cutting ceremony—adding an augmented reality feature accessed by a QR code.

Osceola History will host its 33rd Annual Pioneer Day on November 8 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Pioneer Village at Shingle Creek, located at 2491 Babb Road in Kissimmee — a free festival that will feature live music and historic demonstrations, and families will enjoy a craft zone and local market — offering a look into early Florida life.

ChampionsGate Boulevard will be closed nightly from October 13 to October 15 from 11:00 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for I-4 bridge work, and motorists must follow detour routes via Ronald Reagan Parkway, Lake Wilson Road, and Osceola Polk Line Road—drivers should rely on posted signs for guidance.
