We are proud of what our members have accomplished. They are dedicated to our Mission: “Serving the children of the world. One child at a time. One community at a time.” They are committed to making a difference in the lives of children. Below is just a sampling of our projects chosen to help children through all phases of their lives.
We had a great start to the New Year. 11 of our Kiwanis members attended an Inter-Club meeting on January 2, 2024 at the Maryville Kiwanis Club. We experienced the true meaning of fellowship. We were greeted at the door! We enjoyed a great lunch. Their President, Wanda Davis, conducted an interesting and comprehensive meeting. We shared ideas, and plans to continue the work of Kiwanis. We also had the privilege to viewed Pete Davis’s new Maryville Kiwanis website. We hope you take a moment to read the short synopsis, “What is Inter-Club”.
Thank you members of the Maryville Kiwanis Club! You are an exceptional group of Kiwanians.

Lois and David Nellis exemplify community spirit through their involvement with the Friends of Chesterfield Township Library in Chesterfield, MI. Lois is Vice President and David is an Officer on the Friends of the Library board. Lois is the sister of Joanne Meyer, Kevin’s wife. As many of you know, Kevin is the Tellico Village Kiwanis Club Project Coordinator for A Bench for Caps Program.
Lois and David actively support the caps and lids program in their area. During a conversation, Kevin mentioned a bench donated by our Kiwanis Club to the Tellico Village Public Library. Lois and David questioned if a bench could be acquired for their library. Yes, it was possible! Kevin explained they would need to commit to saving caps and lids and be willing to sponsor the bench. Without hesitation, Lois and David agreed. Bench #103 was transported by Kevin and Joanne on their Thanksgiving trip to visit family in Michigan and presented to the library on November 23, 2025.
The bench holds special significance, dedicated in memory of Shane Stewart. A beloved former library worker who began his journey as a 16-year-old volunteer and tragically passed away in 2024.
Demonstrating a commitment to community engagement, Lois and David involved the local K-Kids Club. The K-Kids members constructed drop-off buckets, thereby nurturing a sense of contribution and creativity among young community members. ... See MoreSee Less
