What does Kiwanis do? We do a lot. We do a lot. (In face, we’re still working on the list.  A couple thing you should understand about Kiwanis. We are a non-profit 501 c corporation. (Thanks for your donations) As such there are to elements to our Club. The Charlevoix Kiwanis Youth Foundation where all monies obtained by the are directed. The second part is the Administrative Organization which as the name implies includes all officers and Club members who are all volunteers. There are many administrative costs but all those costs are paid by club members. This is the way that the Michigan Kiwanis and Kiwanis International also operate. That means when you buy a hot dog, Kielbasa, the maple syrup we bottle or the holiday nuts we sell, or participate in the “Fun Run.” Every penny of profit goes back into the community and most of it to fund youth activities. Typically, our members provide nearly 400 hours a month in community service work.
