OUR WILMINGTON CLUB
Welcome to our site! We hope you look around and get a better understanding about who Kiwanis is and how we support kids in our area.
​
The Wilmington Club was started in 1979 and 2 of our original members are still serving today! Currently, we have 25 members, who have a heart for serving youth in Clinton County.
​
Our club sponsors Key Clubs at Clinton-Massie, East Clinton and Wilmington High Schools. Additionally, we support the only Aktion Club in our division. We enjoy collaborating with several organizations and working together for the betterment of our community.
Recently, we've created a Community Outreach Committee so that we can do MORE! We've offered our resources to Clinton County CASA, Clinton County Jobs and Family Services, the Clinton County Youth Council, & Harvest of Gold. We are excited to see what kind of impact we can have together!
