The
Northville 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 Northville Kiwanis Polar Bear
Plunge has been added to support the growing need for
support.
Each year, the Kiwanis Club
purchases Thanksgiving, Christmas and Easter turkeys,
(along with vegetables, desert, and all the trimmings)
and delivers these to various needy families around
Northville in association with Civic Concern.
Members of the club also volunteer
time to the Salvation Army as Bell Ringers at local
grocery stores and merchants. The club sponsors a handicap
bowling program which serves about 40 special needs
bowlers in addtion to staging a bowling tournament,
awards banquet and summer picnic for these bowlers.
At the regional level, the Northville Kiwanis makes
a financial contribution each year to the CS Mott Children's
Hospital in Ann Arbor. In
addition Kiwanis of Michigan, along with international
foundations, helps to sponsor high school students to
the boys & girls state leadership seminars.
