Our Community

Red Cedar honors clients and their family members that are active-duty military or veterans by gifting them a care package every November. We strongly believe in recognizing our freedoms and honoring those that have sacrificed on our behalf. 

Every Wednesday at 12:05pm, the local chapter Downtowners #684 meets at Red Cedar to practice growing their speaking and leadership skills. The club focuses on coaching, leadership, and personal development. Theresa Mickelson was The District 19 2019-2020 Director.

Steve and Theresa Mickelson participate in the organizing committee for an annual Drum Corps International show held in the heart of Cedar Rapids. Tournament of Drums has been around since the 1950s. It was revitalized by the committee in 2015 and now draws thousands.
