On Thursday, April 16th, in the private dining room of Smoke on the Square, the Shelby Kiwanis came together for a very special luncheon to celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Kiwanis Club.
Guest speaker was Cleveland County Sheriff, Alan Norman. Sheriff Norman reviewed past accomplishments and future plans for his department. He emphasized the positive side of programs which are in place for all citizens. After, he responded to a question and answer session.
Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations are dedicated to help the communities in which they reside. Service is the heart of every Kiwanis Club. The clubs focus on changing the world by serving children, one community at a time. The Shelby Kiwanis' biggest fundraiser is the annual pancake supper held prior to a Shelby High football game in the school cafeteria. The Shelby Kiwanis was founded in 1922 and is 93 years old. It is an outstanding example of doing good for the community.
