The Kiwanis Club of Merrick was founded in 1949 . The club began with just 25 members and has grown to its current membership of 80 . Over the years, the club has held many fundraisers, including pancake breakfasts,holiday gift wrapping and other events. We help out in the community in a variety of ways, including sponsoring youth groups, highway clean-ups, raising money to benefit children and children’s support groups, and providing scholarships. The club has enjoyed a rich history over the years, with its members coming from fields like accounting, civil service, education, management, and many more.
