Rogers Noon Kiwanis was chartered in 1924, making it the oldest Kiwanis Club in this area. Kids Need Kiwanis is our motto, and we are dedicated to helping one child, one community at a time.

Locally, we have two signature projects at this time. One is the Buddy Picnic (over 35 years) which is providing a fun cookout for the Rogers Public School special needs children (K-12) and their buddies from regular classrooms. We served over 400 this year! The second project is helping the Rogers Public School teachers, counselors and nurses to have clothes on hand for the children to change into(accidents of one kind or another, or just need). These items are stored in the new Kids Closet for the district.

Our fund raisers consist of Poinsettia sales in Oct/Nov, Gift wrapping at Barnes and Noble in Dec, Hydration Station at Frisco Car Show in Aug/Sept, Peanut Day/Fill the Kids Closet Day at Walmart #1 in Aug and concessions at the FLW fishing competition at Prairie Creek in April when in our area. We hope to continue/expand our Read To Me program, formerly known as Mr. Reader, in the public schools as our membership grows. We also give scholarships to high school seniors (for college) in need in May. We also provide Terrific Kid items to a local private school. We support Grace Hill can recycling and save the tabs for Ronald McDonald Room at Mercy Hospital.

Rogers Noon Kiwanis is always looking for programs for our Wednesday meetings, new projects/ways of serving the local community and especially welcome guests and potential new members. Throughout the World, Kiwanis International has helped make a difference by providing Service Leadership Programs, Disaster Relief, working closely with UNICEF to provide preventable cause of mental disabilities, iodine deficiency, by providing iodine to third world countries beginning in 1994. The Eliminate Project is another project teaming up with UNICEF to elimate maternal/neonatal tetanus, a preventable cause of death to mother and child with $1.80 vaccinations.

As you see, we are committed to helping children of the world to live and have productive lives. If you wish to do something to make a good change in the lives of children, please do not hesitate to contact us.
