The Kiwanis Club of Metropolitan Milwaukee Nights turns 6 years old today!
On July 15, 1999:
- There was no such thing as the Kiwanis Brewfest
- Winners Wear Helmets didn’t exist in Milwaukee
- Some of us didn’t even know what Kiwanis was
- Others were trying to figure out what to do now that we didn’t have a Circle K convention to go to
Thanks to the efforts of our Kiwanis club over the past six years, thousands of hours of service have been given to our community, tens of thousands of dollars have been raised and donated to worthy causes by our club, and we’ve all developed new friendships.
Stay tuned for details about a Club Anniversary celebration coming in August!
