Members of the club and their guests enjoyed an evening together at Emerson Park recently. Thanks to Marabeth, Mary and Kevin who made it all possible!

We celebrated the extraordinary service of these members who have been with Kiwanis for at least 25 yerars. Congratulations to Gil (seated, 25 years of service) and (standing, left to right) Earl (30 years of service), Wally (25 years), Ralph (28 years) and Frank (43 years). Also, not pictured, Cal also was recognized for 25 years of service. Thank you, gentlemen, for all you’ve done for our community!

Aktion Club members Sarah and Amanda help Midland Kiwanis Club member, Karann, sell popcorn at the Midland County Fair last week.

Did you know that Kiwanis has a service club specifically for adults with disabilities with more than 12,000 members worldwide? It’s mission is to provide adults living with disabilities and opportunity to use their abilities, develop leadership skills and serve their communities.

We might be biased, but we think we are the best deal at the county fair! A box of popcorn is only $2.

Thirsty? Water and juice are $2. Coke products and iced tea are only $3.

Come say hello! Our club is selling popcorn and cold drinks in Merchant Building 25. This annual fundraiser helps raise money so we can help others in Midland County. If you want to learn more about Kiwanis, our members are happy to answer your questions.

Amy, Karann, Donna Jo, Mary and Julie participated in the small animal auction Wednesday evening.

Our club won bids on 22 animals during the auction. We are proud to support our local 4H clubs.

Members of our club installed two balance beams, a small climbing wall, and a floating step walkway in Coleman. Thanks to Earl, Joe, Mike, Brad, Kevin, Dave and Ray for using your talents to make a child’s day more fun!

Dee Howe, Executive Director of Midland County 4H-MSU Extension, explains how 4H is aimed at targeting life skills and youth leadership. She shared the Targeting Life Skills model and walked us through examples of how various projects in the 4H programs develop these skills.

The Club is proud to support 4H each year at the Midland County Fair. We will be ready to bid at the small animal auction on Wednesday, August 13. So grab some popcorn from our booth, and join us in supporting our county’s youth.

Members of our club have long been involved with Cleveland Manor, an independent living facility for older adults (62+) and people with disabilities who have limited incomes. Executive Director, Judy Laufer, gave us an update this summer and thanked the Club Foundation for donating money for a gazebo repair project.

Kevin welcomed new member, Jamie, to our club in May. She is eager to serve the community and meet new people.

The Kiwanis Club of Midland has a longstanding working relationship with the West Midland Family Center preschool program.

As the school year came to an end, we helped serve a meal to the kids and their families, which gave the teachers an opportunity to mingle with the guests.

Club President Kevin Shaughnessy received special recognition by the 3-year-old class, who presented him with an art project to show their appreciation. Kevin goes into the classrooms weekly and does science lessons with the kids. The preschoolers love Mr. Kevin and his fun experiments. Move over, Bill Nye, Kevin is our Science Guy!
