Kiwanis has a long history of service in Grand Haven, Spring Lake and Ferrysburg, Michigan.
The Kiwanis Club of Grand Haven was originally chartered on March 13, 1941; sponsored by the Grand Rapids, Holland and Muskegon clubs. The first president was Arthur F. Gieseking, and the first secretary was Harvey L. Scholten. The club had 38 charter members, had grown to 69 members by 1955, and peaked at 120 members.
This bookletwas originally published in February, 1991 to celebrate the club’s 50-year anniversary, documenting the many service projects carried out by the club in its first 50 years. After more than 60 years of service, the Kiwanis Club of Grand Haven dissolved on January 28, 2003. Read the Tribune article here. Prior to dissolving, the club donated their funds to Children’s Services at the Loutit District Library and the Tri-Cities Historical Museum’s Ackley Project.

Nearly two years later in late 2004, the Tri-Cities Kiwanis Club was chartered under the inspirational leadership of several local citizens.
Over the years, Tri-Cities Kiwanis has been recognized at the Michigan District level for rapid growth and innovative projects that assist special needs children and young victims of disease and disability. [Read more]

The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
For more than a century, Kiwanis International has empowered its members to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children.
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Globally members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly $100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Besides annual projects such as the Salmon Tournament and Santa Depot, Tri-Cities Kiwanis has several other projects and organizations that we partner with. [Learn more]
