THANK YOU! to everyone who attended Northern Kiwanis Fish Fry in May at the Clintonville Woman’s Club. Delicious beer battered fish, hot dogs and side dishes of baked beans, corn, chips, pickles and cheese were heartily consumed. There were door prizes and one lucky diner won the 50/50 raffle. Beer from Combustion Brewery was also available. Proceeds from our fundraisers help Northern Kiwanis continue serving the kids in our community: book giveaway, Easter Egg Hunt, scholarships, NCIL baseball, children’s nutrition programs and more. Whetstone Key Club members were also on hand to help serve our guests as well as selling homemade cookies as a fundraiser for their club. We appreciate your support! If you would like information about how you can also serve the kids in the community as a Kiwanian please CONTACT US.
It was a cold and wet Saturday morning but the Northern Columbus Kiwanis Easter Egg Hunt was a rousing success! The kids had a great time hunting for those not-so-well-hidden colorful eggs. In less than 5 minutes all the eggs were safely nestled in their Easter baskets. We were thrilled to see the smiles on the kids’ faces. They were so excited! And so was the Easter Bunny!

This year Northern Columbus Kiwanis selected five community volunteers to receive the Community Support Award. They are Susan Emerson, Heather Fitzgerald, Donny Humes, Hope Roberts and Suzan Singh.
