Club History
The Kiwanis Club of North Olmsted was chartered July 24, 1930 with Dr.
C. C. Roswurm as President. He also stayed on as President for the
1931 year, the only President to serve two consecutive years in our 80 year
history.
North Olmsted Kiwanis has always been an active club. It took on
all kinds of projects such as, installing flood light at the pond in North
Olmsted Park for the ice skaters, spearheading the drive to get Lorain Road
paved in 1940, initiating Boys and Girls Races (1937) which became part of
what we now call 'Homecoming', installing a scoreboard at the High School,
etc, etc.
The Kiwanis Scholarship Foundation was formed in 1984 and awarded eight
$1,500 scholarships last year.
Some of the current activities of our club include: Meals on Wheels,
Easter Egg Hunt, Make A Wish Foundation, Boy Scouts, Homecoming, Kiwanis
Park, Thanksgiving at the Party Center, Hugh
O'Brien Leadership Conference, and many many
more.
