General Information
About the Club
The Kiwanis Club of Brookfield
is a service organization. It's primary focus is on the local community
but is also a member club of Division Five,
Illinois-Iowa
District and
Kiwanis International
.
The Kiwanis Club of Brookfield was chartered in April 1927 with twenty-five
charter members. The club provided people an opportunity to give of themselves,
their talent and time to others. For 75 years, the record of service
and contribution to the welfare of the Village
of Brookfield has been an outstanding one. The club members credit
much of their success to village residents. Residents give unselfish financial
support to the club's fundraisers which enables the Kiwanis to continue
programs and to focus on new areas of service.
