Walk to End Alzheimer's
This fall, our club has become involved with the Alzheimer's Association of Southeastern Wisconsin.
A number of our members have had loved ones affected by the disease. Ann, one of our members, also serves as Walk Manager for the SE Wisconsin chapter.
"My first #walktoendalzheimers! It was incredible! I’m so lucky to have such an amazing #kiwanis club to volunteer with me! I am so lucky that this next step of my career has taken me here; I work with passionate, dedicated staff and volunteers who want to find #thefirstsurvivor. #whiteflower" ~ Ann

Big Brothers Big Sisters Bowl for Kids Sake
In early March 2018, club members (attempted) to serve up strikes at Beach Party Bowling for Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of Metro Milwaukee. All proceeds go to helping children in need get off the waiting list and into safe, life changing mentoring relationships with caring adult mentors. Fortunately, the event was more successful than our bowling scores.
Since 1975, BBBS of Metro Milwaukee has been changing children's lives by matching them with caring adults to guide them on a path to success.
