Kiwanis Club of Coldwater

Kiwanis Club of Coldwater We are volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. Kiwanis International was founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan.

In the early years, members focused on business networking. In 1916, Kiwanis became an international organization with the creation of the Kiwanis Club of Hamilton, Ontario. In 1919, the organization changed its focus to service. By 1962, worldwide expansion was approved. In 1987, women officially were allowed into the membership.

Thank you to Branch County United Way Executive Director Nate Cranson, who was our guest speaker yesterday.

We wish him well in his new role and can’t wait to see all the good we do together!

📚All of our guest speakers have a book in their name donated to an area elementary school. How apropos, since literacy is our signature project and we partner with United Way for Schools of Hope, United We Read and more!

How time flies! Can’t believe it’s already been a week since Branch County United Way’s Color Run, of which we were a proud participant.

And speaking of United Way, their new Executive Director Nate Cranson will be our guest speaker at Monday’s meeting. We invite everyone to join us and we look forward to hearing about all the great things planned under Nate’s leadership!

Here's your sign to go read "The Very Hungry Caterpillar" by Eric Carle tonight!

We are so happy to support art projects in Downtown Coldwater, and especially those that tie so closely to our signature project, raising literacy levels.

Recently we have had presentations by Michael Beard from Student Leadership Services and from Kiwanis member Lori Hunt.

Beard spoke on SLS, a student-led organization empowering teens to create safe, healthy, and inclusive schools. The program helps create stronger student leaders and a more positive school culture, along with offering greater community impact and more opportunities for students to shine.

Lori continued the discussion of her proposed community service project for Kiwanis, which will go before the board for consideration soon.

We thank them and all of our guest speakers, and as a thank you, will place a book in each of their names at an area elementary school.

If you want to catch our next Kiwanis meeting, tomorrow is a special evening meeting at Ponderosa. If you’re interested, we will see you there at 6PM!

In case you were wondering why the flags were taken down on the south side of Chicago Street and on South Monroe and on South Hanchett Street it is so they won't interfere with the vendor booths for Strawberry Fest. They will be put back up Sunday morning. We also wanted to let everyone know we are leaving the flags in the Coldwater neighborhoods up until after July 4th rather than taking them down now and putting them back out in less than two weeks. Leave us a message if you are interested in getting a flag for your home or business. It is not too late to get one before July 4th.
