About
Us:
Three Rivers Kiwanis Club was chartered on
November 6, 1991 and became a part of New England Kiwanis
Division 2 which is made up of Kiwanis Clubs from Dexter,
Dover-Foxcroft, Greenville, Guilford, and Orono-Old Town.
Thirty-one members formed the new club sponsored by
Dover-Foxcroft Kiwanis with a goal of making a difference
in the lives of children and people in the community.
Fund raisers were started to raise money necessary to carry out
projects. An early one became the Annual Kiwanis Auction that
is held in June. Such programs as Terrific Kids, Key Club, Bike
Rodeo, college book awards, Secret Santa, and many others
benefit from the auction. Other fund raisers over the years
include an Annual Variety Show to fund the Reading Is
Fundamental program which provides books three times a year for
all children from nursery school age through grade six and a
Library Kids Korner program, Charity Golf Tournament sponsored
by JSI, Coffee Houses, Community Calendar , fruit sale, and
many others.
Many service projects have been carried on which include the
building of the warming hut at Harris Field; the renovation in
the Town Hall for an Arts Center with stage lighting and a full
sound system made possible by donations and grants; a Veterans
Day dinner for all veterans in our area; the beautiful gazebo
overlooking the Sebec River and constructed by Kiwanians,
American Legion members, and towns-people; the Three Rivers
Newspaper printed weekly; and many others listed in the back of
this brochure.
Club officers are elected to serve for one year and a board of
directors meets once a month to conduct the business of the
Club. Officer training is provided for all incoming officers
and NE conferences are held yearly for all who wish to
attend.
Three Rivers Kiwanis membership is open to anyone who would
like to have a part in helping to make a difference in our
community through volunteering their time and
energy.
