Welcome to the Web Site of
the Kiwanis Club of Ashland, VA!
We are one of the oldest Kiwanis clubs in Virginia, dating back to 1923, and the only Kiwanis club in Hanover County. Our first major project as a club was to raise funds to pave the road from Ashland to north Richmond (the old Azalea Mall).
Throughout our history, our service projects have been geared to the community - Ashland as well as the balance of Hanover County. These have included the construction of playgrounds, highway trash cleanup and garden beds in one of the area schools. Annually, we plan and orchestrate the Ashland Christmas Parade for the enjoyment of all of the county's residents.
Additionally, we are active and proud sponsors of Key Club programs in three of the region's high schools, a CKI Club at Randolph Macon College and the Aktion Club of Ashland (Hanover County adults with disabilities). We have perfect attendance programs in several elementary schools as well as a Reading Mentor Program in which our volunteers go to area elementary schools and provide one-on-one help to children learning to read. We also provide, annually, four four-year scholarships to selected, graduating high school seniors.
Kiwanis believes our children are the keys to our future and to the future of our country. We try to promote, nurture and guide the children in the county so that they, in turn, can guide and make our neighborhoods the types of places we can be proud to call our own.
We welcome all service oriented men and women to become Kiwanians. Be our guest at a dinner meeting or a service project. Get to know us. We invite you to join us!
