The large "Wildrose Bell" at the St. Charles History Museum will ring 75 times on Saturday, April 9, in celebration of the 75th anniversary of the St. Charles Kiwanis Club.

The club has been "Serving the Children and Community for 75 years" as its anniversary slogan states, and the festivities will take place from 3 to 5 p.m. at the museum, 215 E. Main St. in St. Charles.
