About

Valparaiso Sunrise Kiwanis

Our group was formed in 1988, the first year women were admitted to Kiwanis. It was the idea of George Nash (food service director of VHS) and Lonnie Steele (school principal), noon club members. Several of their fellow school principals could not attend noon club, so they had this Sunrise idea. That is why there were so many educators in our club. We first met at Brown's Ice Cream, Valpo Velvet. Mr. Gordon Brown fixed us a nice breakfast even though they did not open for breakfast. We have met at several locations thru the years, but this is the 2nd time to meet at Chili Bowl!

Days Of Caring

Each year Kiwanis club members set aside a day as a "Day of Caring" to better their communities. It’s also been a day when club members invite friends and family to join them in a project that can improve a community.
