A historical moment in Wilmington Kiwanis Club history occurred recently when the club chartered its third high school Key Club in Clinton County at Wilmington High School.

Key Club is the oldest and largest service program for high school students. It is a student-led organization that teaches leadership through service to others. Members of the Kiwanis International family and Key Club members build themselves as they build their schools and communities.

The Wilmington Kiwanis Club had its Charter Banquet March 17 at the Wilmington Presbyterian Church for the Key Club members and their parents. They were presented with the Key Club banner, gavel and club pins. Club officers and members were inducted by Key Club Lt. Gov. Kailyn Embrack of Springfield, Ohio.

Special Guests were Wilmington High School Principal Mindy McCarty-Stewart, Ohio District Kiwanis Governor Amy Zimmerman of Cincinnati and Key Club Lt.Gov. Kailyn Embrack of Springfield High School.

Wilmington Kiwanis also sponsors East Clinton and Clinton-Massie high school Key Clubs.

If any one is interested in the youth of our community and community service and wish to join Kiwanis, please call President Vermon L. Dillon at 937-382-9636.

The Kiwanis Club meets every first and third Thursday of the month at 11:45 a.m. at Wilmington Presbyterian Church.
