Who are we?
We are community members that serve our children and community.
We have been in existence for over 100 years in Richmond (Kiwanis International is now 109 years old).
We will meet at the Ray County Hospital Cafeteria, just off of Wollard Blvd, Richmond, MO on TUESDAYS for lunch. This is a NEW LOCATION, and we are excited to try this. Purchase from the cafeteria menu and then move to the meeting room nearby.
We have great conversations with our friends.
We gather at 11:30 and ring the Bell at 12:00. Meetings end at 1 pm.
First meeting of the Month is our Business / Board Meeting. Other meetings have a program relating to the community, or just something fun.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time.
We sponsor the RHS Key Club and the Elementary School Terrific Kids program.
We provide various service projects that impact the kids of our community.
Please consider joining us.
Welcome to the Club!

Dictionary Project 2024
We donated our Dictionary Project books on November 12th to our third graders at Sunrise Elementary in Richmond. There will be another presentation at Hardin-Central Elementary soon. The third graders are now enjoying their new dictionaries and gazeteers. The students found the word "success" and other words, along with information on states, countries, presidents, the constitution, and even American Sign Language! The Richmond Kiwanis is pleased to again be the project coordinator and presentation team for the dictionaries. We have now presented 1296 dictionaries to our local third grader over the years. The Dictionary Project has distributed 36,925,081 dictionaries since it began. Photos below from our November 12th presentation at Sunrise.

Trick-or-Treat Hotdog Halloween Give-away at the Richmond FireStation
On Halloween, the club members again grilled hotdogs and stuffed them into buns, as fast as we could. We then will gave the children in the cars going through the Fire Station each a hotdog, chips, a cookie and a bottle of water. What fun to see all of the costumes and how proud the little ones were to receive their own hotdog! Thanks to Shirkey's Nursing and Rehabilitation for their support (hotdogs) and all members in making this event a success! See you at our Hot Dog Trick-or-Treat again Next Year! Photos below:
