  • Happy 97th birthday, Kiwanis!

    December 19, 2011

    We are 97 years strong—and still going. On January 21, the Kiwanis International organization celebrates our official birthday, which is the day the Detroit No. 1 Club chartered in 1915.

    It’s a good time to reflect on and celebrate all that’s been accomplished in our 97 years of serving children around the world. Where would children in your community be without Kiwanis?

    Here are some ideas on how to mark the date.

    • Social: Serve birthday cake at one of your club’s January meetings or to your SLP club meetings.
    • Philanthropic: Send $97 to The Eliminate Project.
    • PR: Cover the costs for the local ice cream shop to give away a “Kiwanis sundae” to its next 97 customers.
    • Service: Plant 97 bulbs around a neighborhood playground.

    Make it special!

  • Everything’s coming up roses

    December 16, 2011

    If you join the 450 million viewers watching the Tournament of Roses Parade on January 2, keep your eyes open for some familiar faces. Kiwanis International President Alan Penn and his wife, Jeri, will be among the representatives riding the Winter Wonderland Kiwanis International float.

    Not the spectator type? Get more involved: Sponsor the Kiwanis float or join the Rose Float Committee in the actual decorating. Besides working on our own Winter Wonderland-themed float, Kiwanis volunteers spend thousands of hours on other floats as well. Join in the fun and get the inside story on what goes into these gorgeous creations.

  • Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF benefits The Eliminate Project

    December 13, 2011

    US$29,011 (and counting)

    That’s a nice chunk of change toward The Eliminate Project. Especially considering this donation comes from high school students.

    Our Key Clubbers and friends, dressed in costumes such as Minnie Mouse, Zorro or Captain Jack Sparrow, went door to door on Halloween night trick-or-treating for UNICEF. These are donations collected by children to benefit children. Great job, Key Clubbers!

    Read about Key Clubbers who hosted a Halloween-themed festival to benefit The Eliminate Project.
