What a great partnership moment! 💙

Our Club was visited by our friends at Sheboygan Falls Kiwanis Club to hear about all they are up to - and receive our share of the proceeds from the IPads for Autism Fun Run/Walk.

It was a moment of shared excitement and gratitude as we gear up for additional projects together!

55 Year Legion of Honor Award Recipient Donald Meier (Kiwanis join date: 1970)

Don joined the Sheboygan Sunrise Kiwanis Club in 1970 and, over the years, held every officer position except secretary. During his early years, the club's primary fundraiser was a chili supper. The service project he is most proud of was the early-morning hamburger breakfast that their club prepared for Sheboygan High School graduates each year at Kiwanis Park. Don would get up at 2 or 3 A.M. to light the fires to prepare breakfast hamburgers for graduates coming from the graduation party at the Armory. He helped serve the hamburger breakfast to both of his sons when they graduated. When the Sunrise Club ceased to exist, he joined the Kiwanis Club of Greater Sheboygan. Don enjoys both the service and fellowship of Kiwanis and attends Kiwanis meetings in Arizona during his winter months.
