Walt Retires with a Malt

Walt Bodine, 91, celebrated his retirement from "The Walt Bodine Show" on April 27, 2012, with a chocolate malt followed by a malt-flavored cupcake from www.3girlscupcakes.com. Thank you, 3 girls and everyone else in Kansas City for making this a very special day. The final broadcast of the radio show was a record-breaking hour of fund raising for KCUR public radio in Kansas City. Walt was thrilled.

Thank You, Kansas City!

Thank you, friends and co-workers, for all the kind comments and wishes as I head into full retirement. It's been a joy to know you! -- Walt Bodine

What Do You Sing to That?

Walt Bodine was among the thousands of Kansas Citians at the opening of the brilliant Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts.

Great Food, Great Cause

Don't miss the chance on April 30,  2011, to buy great BBQ ribs at McGonigles Market and support the Midwest Foster Care and Adoption Association.  The MFCAA's 8th annual Ribs for Kids event runs from 7:30 a.m. to 6 p.m. Just stop by the store at 79th and Ward Parkway, purchase racks of baby back ribs, and McGonigles Market will donate $5 per rack to MFCAA.

Hot ribs from the BBQ are usually available during the middle part of the day. Cold, but fully cooked, ribs are available all day so you can heat 'em and eat 'em when you like. 

MFCAA is dedicated to support and advocacy for abused and neglected children and the families caring for them.  They are committed to helping all children have the opportunity to grow up successful, healthy and happy, despite childhood histories of abuse or neglect.
