DID YOU KNOW...

In 1995 on an Interclub visit to Pipestone Kiwanis Club by the Westbrook Kiwanis Club delegation, they were introduced to the "Terrific Kids" program.  The Interclubbers were immensely impressed.

 

After hearing the Interclub report about the “Terrific Kids” program, the Westbrook Kiwanis Club voted to implement a similar program.  Kiwanis member, Joyce Vortherms, took charge and has had tremendous success the past 10 plus years.

 

 

 

WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUR CLUB ABOUT SERVICE PROJECTS AND FUNDRAISERS SO WE CAN HELP INSPIRE OTHER KIWANIS CLUBS WITH NEW IDEAS!
