Why we enjoy what we

do . . .

We are a cross section of the Le

Mars Community

Enjoying life together, while doing good for others. It’s an expression of our values and the source of great satisfaction as we laugh, encourage and strengthen each other -- all with the goal of advancing the best life can offer -- building our community through the strength of a proven organization: Kiwanis. We meet for breakfast the 1st and 3rd Tuesday morning at the Floyd Valley Healthcare conference room accessible from the upper level, east entrance. We undertake several activities as a local club. The proceeds from these projects are used to achieve the support goals we have adopted. Activity • The donut shop during the Plymouth County Fair. Begun in 1977, this activity has generated thousands of dollars for our projects. • The Kiwanis and Aktion Club help stuff plastic Easter Eggs each year for the Le Mars Easter Egg Hunt. Project Support • Kiwanis International Eliminate Project is to save and protect moms and babies from maternal and neonatal tetanus (MNT). This was started in 2010 as a joint effort with UNICEFF. There are still 14 countries where MNT has not been eliminated.

Joint venture with

Aktion Club

We had a great turnout and a lot of fun making popcorn balls on Wednesday evening, November 30th at the American Legion Hall. Aktion Club Members, Kiwanis Club Members and their spouses, Pride Group Employees and our Nebraska-Iowa Division 5 Lt. Governor joined in on the fun. We made approximately 1,500 popcorn balls in approximately 2 hrs. These popcorn balls will be handed out at Pioneer Village Christmas Wonderland on Saturday & Sunday nights, December 3rd & 4th and December 10th & 11th. A big THANK YOU to the American Legion for letting us use their hall. Also, a big THANK YOU to Fareway and Hy-Vee for letting us use their saran wrap machines.

We enjoy what we do.

We’re always looking

for others to join us.

Our club reflects our values and our values reflect in our club. We welcome all ages, men and women from every background. The common ingredient is people who desire to make a difference in our community and the world. We are committed to encouraging and inspiring each other. We welcome others who desire the same for themselves and our community. If you’re interested in exploring Kiwanis, please let us know.
