Member Highlights

"The reason I joined Kiwanis was because I believed in their mission. Although the wording of the mission has changed somewhat over the years, the core mission of improving the lives of children has remained the same. From providing books, bicycle helmets, and shoes to helping build a playground accessible by children of all abilities, our McMinnville Kiwanis club members have been making a difference for over 100 years!"

"I love being a Kiwanian because I love to see the impact we make in kids’ lives firsthand. I know that every little thing we do to improve a child’s life does make a positive impact. And healthy children are the linchpin to cultivating a healthy community."

"I was in my high school’s Key Club in Grants Pass and part of Circle K at Linfield. I’ve been a member of McMinnville Kiwanis since 2018. What I love most about this club are the intergenerational friendships and the ability to make a difference in my community. We’re a small but mighty group!"
