CLUB PROJECTS
The Marysville Kiwanis Club, in keeping with charter of Kiwanis International, is proud to have sponsored, donated, participated in events, or awarded monies to the following events, schools, service organizations, or fundraisers. It’s all about the kids.

Fishing Derby
Every year for the past 50 years the Marysville Kiwanis Club has sponsored a fishing derby open to all children from pre-school to eighth grade. The derby is held at Ellis Lake usually the 2nd Saturday in September. The fishing derby was created by the Marysville Kiwanis Club to inspire the children of this community with an alternative choice to drugs. It was also created to provide a safe and fun venue for a family outing. About 1000 children and their parents participate each year.

Salvation Army Bell Ringing
Every December our club competes against the Yuba City Noon Club to see which club will raise the most money for the Salvation Army during its bell ringing drive. Currently the Marysville Club has the trophy. The whole membership does its best to make this a fun project by dressing in seasonal costumes, goofy hats and giving away balloons and candy.

BUGS Program
Students from three elementary schools in Yuba County were recognized for academic achievement when they maintained or increased grades in all subjects from one grading period to the next. The Marysville Kiwanis Club recognized the top 50 students who improved their grades by having a wall of honor, a Christmas Party and a Year End Party. Bicycles were given out to the top 10 students who participated in this program. This program is a yearly event and it is the club’s intention to expand it to encouraging students at the higher grade levels with the Terrific Kids Program.

 

CLUB FUNDRAISERS
Italian Nite
The Marysville Kiwanis Club’s Italian Night is the one major fundraiser held every year around April.
This fundraiser makes up about 95% of the monies raised to finance the various projects of the club. Funds are raised from ticket sales,
raffles, silent auction, and bar sales

The theme and overall coordination of each Italian Night is the responsibility of the incoming President. The entire membership is expected to participate in some aspect of the fundraiser from ticket sales, decorations, cooking, serving,
bartending, providing entertainment and clean-up. This event is well organized and the membership, although tired after the event, has a great time.
Other Fundraisers
Throughout the year, the club raises funds for special projects either through small auctions, pancake breakfasts or spaghetti feeds.

The clubs administrative funding comes from annual dues, fines and “Happy or Sad” dollars.
 

CLUB SOCIALS
Kiwanis is not only a wonderful way to support your community, it is also a means to network with other business members in the community. You will meet a large group of people from a variety of businesses from all the Kiwanis Clubs in Division 14 if you attend interclubs and District Conference Meetings.

The Marysville Club also holds socials throughout the year as a means to get to know your fellow Kiwanian on a more personal basis. These socials range from BBQ’s in the summer to a ‘Tweener’ party during the Christmas holiday season.
