Our fund-raising includes Pancake Day, usually held in February or March on a Friday. Plans are to use proceeds from this breakfast to purchase playground equipment. In 2018 we started a new tradition by sponsoring the State of Wellington breakfast with Mayor Hans Schneider and Wellington Schools’ Superintendent (and Kiwanian) Ed Weber provide an overview of the previous year and outline their goal for the coming year. Each August, we sell admission tickets at the Lorain County Fair. We also have our annual Morris Furcron Peterson Nut Sale in the fall. The past two years, the community has supported by Kiwanis in this effort with sales totaling more than $10,000.
Monday, Nov. 11 is Veterans Day. We observe this federal holiday on Nov. 11 because major hostilities of World War I were formally ended at the 11th hour on the 11th day of the 11th month of 1918 when the Armistice with Germany went into effect. It was originally known as Armistice Day but was changed in 1954 to Veterans Day. So, 2024 marks the 70th anniversary of Veterans Day. We thank Councilman Gary and Tracey Feron, who sponsored the 20 flags in front of the Town Hall, Mayor Hans Schneider at Union School Park, and American Legion Post 8, for the Vietnam Memorial. All told, we have about 200 flags waving throughout the village this weekend to honor our veterans. This culminates The Wellington Kiwanis Club’s fourth Parde of Flags. All proceeds from this fund-raising campaign will go toward playground equipment at Union School Park. Development of the park is under the auspices of the Village. With the support of the community, Kiwanis has raised $61,924000 towards playground equipment. The $1,924 represents our 100th anniversary serving the youth of Wellington. ... See MoreSee Less
I love the display for Veterans day, my husband serviced 23 years, can't tell you a display of flags means to vets, it is their pride to stand with the flag, God bless them all and Wellington for showing the love!!
Join Wellington Kiwanis for a special evening meeting with guest speaker Fred Greetham who will share stories from his career covering the Cleveland Browns.
Past Kiwanis President and President Elect, Terry Mazzone, shares that "Greetham, a Wellington resident, is one of the longest tenured beat reporters covering the Browns, starting in 1982. He left for seven years to teach and coach in Arizona and returned in 1989 to be the editor of Browns News/Illustrated until 1995 when the team moved to Baltimore. He covered the team when it returned in 1999 for Clevelandbrowns.com and then to Fox Sports Ohio/The Orange and Brown Report in 2002 and has been there since."
This lively meeting is perfect for anyone who loves the Browns and/or wants to meet Kiwanians and learn how we serve the community.
Kindly RSVP to help us plan for refreshments. ... See MoreSee Less
