John Towers �HISTORY OF THE COLDWATER KIWANIS CLUB 2025 On March 26, 1935, several noteworthy events appeared in the Branch County News, later known as the Daily Reporter. Sir John Simon and Lord Anthony Eden of England had just returned from a meeting with Adolf Hitler over Germany’s right to rearm. Meanwhile, a local farmer, Jay Crow, was acquitted by a jury for stealing three heifers after a seven-day trial. And, most importantly for us, the Coldwater Kiwanis Club was founded. With guidance from Kiwanis International and sponsorship from the Hillsdale Kiwanis Club, the Coldwater Kiwanis Club adopted bylaws and elected Dr. Lemuel |. Gist as its first president. On May 8, 1935, the club received its official Kiwanis Charter, and celebrated with a dinner dance. The club started with 28 charter members and initially held weekly Wednesday evening meetings, a tradition that continued until 1980, when meetings shifted to noon. The Early Years: 1935 - 1945 Kiwanis International was founded in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915 as a businessman's club but soon expanded into philanthropic efforts. The motto "We Build” was adopted in 1920, and the Coldwater Kiwanis Club immediately began working to improve the community. One of the club’s first projects was purchasing eyeglasses for a high schoo! student who planned to drop out due to vision problems. After receiving his glasses, he was persuaded to return to school. In 1936, the club introduced Christmas parties for local children, a tradition that lasted for years, with as many as 185 attendees at some events. Kiwanis CLUB OF COLDWATER �Other pre-World War II projects included: * Constructing and maintaining a City Tourist Camp * Sponsoring the Coldwater Senior Class annual outing * Sponsoring the President's Ball * Supporting amateur radio * Providing milk for needy children in Coldwater's First and Third Wards * Donating crutches to children and adults in need On January 12, 1940, the club sponsored a new Kiwanis Club in Sturgis, further expanding its reach. World War ll: 1941 - 1945 During the war years, Kiwanis clubs across the U.S. paused their regular projects to focus on fundraising and supporting the war effort. The Coldwater club contributed through: * Rummage sales Post-War Growth: 1945 - 1965 By 1959, club membership had grown to 56 regular members and six privileged members. Several fundraising initiatives began during this period: * Peanut Sales (1949 - 2019) * Travelogue Series at Tibbits Opera House (1957 - 2002) * Annual Pancake Day at the Masonic Temple (1954 - 1960's) The club also launched its involvement in the Youth for Understanding exchange program, offering scholarships for students to travel abroad. Additionally, members helped build and fumish chapels at Maple Lawn Medical Care Facility and the Community Health Center of Branch County. ae Kiwanis CLUB OF COLDWATER ane iad sscaihsinnuaidhia * Scrap metal drives * War Bond sales * Red Cross and USO fundraising drives * The club also continued its commitment to youth, briefly operating a Youth Center on West Chicago Street. �Community Service and Expansion: 1965 - 1985 In 1974, the club repaired and painted the home of an elderly, visually impaired widow. Between 1978 and 1979, Kiwanis members helped restore the Music Room of the historic Wing House. During the late 1970's, Coldwater’s Kiwanis Hill sledding area was relocated from Behnke Road to Heritage Park for improved safety. The club helped build fencing for the new site. In June 1985, the club became the sponsor of Boy Scout Troop 433, a relationship that continues to this day. Welcoming Women into Kiwanis: 1987 At the 1987 Kiwanis International Convention in Washington, D.C., delegates voted to admit women into Kiwanis membership. Soon after, the Coldwater club welcomed its first female members, ending its 52-year history as a men’s club. "Young Children: Priority One" & Global Impact: 1991 - 2005 In 1991, Kiwanis International launched "Young Children: Priority One", focusing on early childhood development. The Coldwater club supported this initiative through numerous local projects benefiting children under age five. Starting in the mid-1990s, Kiwanis partnered with UNICEF to eliminate lodine Deficiency Disorders (IDD), the leading cause of preventable mental impairment worldwide. The Coldwater club and its members donated over $35,000 to this cause. To support these efforts, the club introduced reflective house number signs, many of which can still be seen throughout Branch County. Funds were raised through this initiative and other events. At the 2005 International Convention in Honolulu, Kiwanis updated its motto from "We Build" to "Serving the Children of the World”, reflecting its primary mission. Kiwanis CLUB OF COLDWATER �New Projects and Expanding Service: 2006 - Present * 2006: Launched Flags Across Coldwater, setting out 700+ American flags on five patriotic holidays each year. * 2008: Received an annual endowment from longtime members Gerald and Gladys Hensley, enabling new service projects. * 2010: Supported Kiwanis & UNICEF's initiative to eliminate maternal and neonatal tetanus, raising $30,000. * 2015: Made childhood literacy the club’s Signature Project, supporting the following programs: * Terrific Kids and Readers are Leaders book distributions * Dolly Parton Imagination Library * Schools of Hope tutoring program, helping 40-50 second graders each year. In 2020, the club donated funds for the City of Coldwater’s snow-making machine, ensuring Kiwanis Hill remained a prime sledding spot. In 2022, it introduced the Cardboard Sled Race, a free event held during Winterfest. By 2023, the club chartered a new Cub Scout Pack and established a Key Club at Pansophia Academy with over 30 members. At the end of 2024, the club started K-Kids Club at Lakeland Elementary. Looking Ahead As the Coldwater Kiwanis Club celebrates 90 years, we remain dedicated to improving the world—one child and one community at a time. We are deeply grateful to our community partners, volunteers, and members, who's dedication allows us to continue making a lasting impact into the future. #Kids Need Kiwanis! ae Kiwanis CLUB OF COLDWATER �i CURRENT SERVICE ACTIVITIES Literacy Projects Applefest Book Giveaway Bubbles & Books - Laundromat Libraries Dolly Parton Imagination Library in Branch County Free Little Libraries Placed in Neighborhoods Kiwanis Terrific Kids Book Distribution Program Lakeland Elementary School Library Upgrade Real Men Read Readers are Leaders Schools of Hope Reading Buddies Program Strawberryfest Book Giveaway Story Walk at Heritage Park United We Read Youth Projects and Support Boy Scout Troop 433 (Sponsor) Cardboard Sled Races at Kiwanis Hill (Snow Cannon Sponsor) Children’s Musuem of Branch County (Children’s Ball Sponsor) (Volunteers) Cub Scout Pack 433 (Sponsor) i Kiwanis ln �Beginnings Care for Life (Infant Car Seats and Pack N’ Plays) Great Start Collaborative (Baby Shower) Kimball Camp A.E.D.
