About the Kiwanis Club of Colebrook

            The Kiwanis Club of Colebrook was organized July 11, 1977 through the sponsorship of the Berlin, NH Kiwanis Club.  We received our charter on September 28, 1977 and became incorporated on February 6, 1978 .  We are part of Kiwanis International, an organization that is international in scope.

            As a service organization, we serve the needs of the Club’s community and also the surrounding communities.  While we serve many needs, young children are the club’s Number One Priority.

             We have sponsored many projects with some of them ongoing since their inception: Children’s Christmas Party (1977), Beaver Brook Falls Park (1978), Lay Person of the Year (1980), Hospital Bed and Equipment Loan Program (1980), and Kiwanis Park (1983).  Some of our other projects include a Halloween Party, Mitten Tree, Tree of Love, Bicycle Safety Rodeo and Helmets.  Our support includes the Kiwanis Pediatric Trauma Institute, the Red Cross Blood Mobile, the Nursing Home Christmas Party as well as scholarships.  In addition, our Annual Winter Carnival is held every February.  We have added an extremely popular event; the Peter Goudreau Sr. Memorial snow bocce tournament.

            To support these programs, we raise money through events like plays, and the sale of raffle tickets.   We also have food booths at various local events and publish the “Moosely Information” Booklet. 

            In keeping with Young Children Priority One, we sponsor Key Clubs at Colebrook Academy , Canaan Memorial and Pittsburg High School .  We also sponsor 3 Builders Clubs; one in Errol NH, one in Canaan, VT and another in Stewartstown, NH.  In addition, we sponsor a K-Kids club in Canaan VT elementary School.   These youth clubs have already provided their members with opportunities to learn leadership skills, and the meaning of community service.

            To do all of this, it takes dedicated volunteers.  If you are interested in working together on community service, you are invited to join us.  Come to one of our meetings held Tuesday mornings at 7:15 AM at the Wilderness Restaurant, Main Street , Colebrook , NH , or simply contact our Club President Judy Houghton at jhoughton@northernhs.org.
