THANK YOU! to everyone who attended Northern Kiwanis Fish Fry in April at the Clintonville Woman’s Club. Delicious fish, hot dogs and side dishes of 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 will also available. Proceeds 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.
Northern Columbus Kiwanis held its Easter Egg Hunt on a bright, sunshiny, but crisp Saturday morning in April. The kids were so eager to get started and could hardly wait for the hunt to begin. All the candy-filled eggs were quickly discovered and carefully placed in Easter Baskets in mere minutes. Those kids who were lucky enough to find the hidden camouflage-colored eggs received special prizes. Hot drinks and donuts were available and eagerly purchased. Be sure to be at the Park of Roses next year for another exciting Easter Egg Hunt!
The Northern Columbus Kiwanis “Book Fair was held early March. Donated books are collected year round and taken to local elementary schools. This year, kids at Colerain and Indian Springs elementary schools were excited to select books to keep. Teachers were also welcome to select books for their classrooms. Members of the Whetstone Key Club also participated, eagerly helping kids pick out just the right books. Please Contact Us if you have books to donate. We collect new and gently used books grade level K-8. Thanks for helping us serve the kids!

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!
