History
In 1935, a group of 12 women decided to meet regularly for
enlightenment and social activities. During the Depression of
the 1930’s, the Mothers’ Club held a fundraiser to purchase milk for
school children to drink with their lunches.
The Club’s fundraising has now grown to three events each year,
enabling the Club to donate approximately $30,000 annually to
student enrichment programs and activities.

Northville
Kiwanis Club
 Although Northville is often
considered an affluent suburb, needy families and individuals do
exist and the Kiwanis clubs are active providers of donations and
services to Northville residents and to our surrounding area.
The Northville Kiwanis clubs are part of Kiwanis International. There are
two Northville Kiwanis clubs: a morning club and an evening club.
The Northville Early Bird Kiwanis is dedicated to serving the
Northville community. Northville Early Birds provide a yearly
community service scholarship to a local qualified student, annual
funds to send a member to serve with Habitat for Mankind, allocate
funds to publish children's Braille books, adopt a holiday family,
provide monthly donations to a local food pantry, and fund a seven
month special handicap bowling program.
Northville Early Bird Kiwanis meets weekly at Northville Crossing
Restaurant at 7:00am. If you have any questions or would like to
become a member, please contact Marlene Kunz at 248-344-1033.
The Northville evening Kiwanis Club is perhaps best known for the
delicious Italian sausages sold at local events such as the
Victorian Festival and Art in the Sun. The proceeds from Italian
sausage sales have for years been the only source of fund raising
for the evening club. However, recently, The Butch Casterline
Memorial Golf Outing and The Northville Kiwanis Polar Bear Plunge
have been added to support the growing needs for support.
Each year, Thanksgiving and Christmas turkeys, are purchased
(along with vegetables & desert) and are delivered to various needy
families around Northville. Members of the club also volunteer time
to the Salvation Army as Bell Ringers at a local grocery store. The
evening club sponsors the handicap bowling program mentioned above
as well as helping with the holiday party and summer picnic. At the
regional level, the Northville Kiwanis makes a financial
contribution each year to the CS Mott Children's Hospital in
Ann Arbor.
Kiwanis is always looking for energetic members. Meetings are
held twice monthly (1st and 3rd Monday evenings) at the VFW Hall on
Northville, Rd at 6:30pm.
Call our President, Kris Wilson 734-420-2142 to get more
information or details about any of the events.
Look for our float in the Holiday Lighted Parade!!
