History

Throughout its history, the Kiwanis name has been synonymous with endeavors that build character, knowledge, commerce, communities, and through genuine concern for others -hope. The Kiwanis Club of Park Ridge has served our community since 1925. Through membership, individuals give their talent, time, and love to those in need.

With our fund-raisers, we contribute over $20,000 annually to organizations and programs in our area that serve children and adults.

Prospective members are invited to join by existing members. The club's board of directors reviews applications for final approval. Kiwanis members meet weekly, paying annual dues as determined by the club. Members, on average, invest about eight hours a month by participating in meetings, projects and volunteering in the community.
