Welcome!

What is Kiwanis? This is a frequently asked question. The official answer is: "Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time." Simply put, we are your friends and, with jobs and professions like your own, yes, even retirees, who have volunteered to help the children and those in need. 

All of the money raised by us goes directly to our projects and some local charities e.g. School Dictionary Project, Special Needs Ice Show, Christmas In August and Wigs 4 Kids. No member of Shorewood Kiwanis receives a salary. All administrative costs are borne by means of the club's internal funding, like 50/50 raffles, Happy Dollars; fines and Birthday and Anniversary donations.

We shop with local merchants and encourage others to do the same. When you think of "Kiwanis", think of people helping kids and those in need.

Shorewood Kiwanis Webmaster attended this event for the first time and highly recommends that our members attend these annual events!  It's fun.  You have a chance to mingle with other Kiwanis club members, exchange ideas and contact information, and get a real sense of being a part of something great, a far-reaching international organization the scope of which you never get to feel at our regular weekly meetings.  Participation in events such as these and Club Growth seminars helps to renew those "aha" moments in your life, reminding you again and again as to why you choose to be a part of such a wonderful service organization.

NOTE:  Coming up in June is our Division One Night at the Races.  See Upcoming Events for complete details.  It is important to have a good turnout at this event not only to support the Kiwanis of Michigan Foundation, but because we are HOSTS for this event.  As a Division One Club, Shorewood members need to support this event with as many attendees as possible!

We now meet at Steve's Back Room, 24317 Jefferson, SCS MI -  every Tuesday Morning, 7:30 AM EXCEPT FOR THE FIFTH TUESDAY OF EVERY MONTH. This is reserved for our Members Only Steak Out. Complete details can be found on the Members Pagel
