Kiwanis of Warrenton's 95th Birthday

Kiwanis is an organization dedicated to improving the lives of children all around the world one community at a time. With members numbering more than 550,000 in 80 countries, there is no question that many people are doing everything they can to make a difference.

We are pleased to say that one of the many Kiwanis Groups is housed here in Warren County. The Warren County Chapter was founded in July of 1926 by Will Wren and Ray Harris along with several business men. With more than 30 members they set out to create a healthy and prosperous atmosphere for the youth of Warren County. With C.R.Fitzpatrick, as President and Charles Evans as Vice President the Kiwanis Club of Warrenton set out to fulfill their mission.

The most well known project of the Warrenton Chapter was completed by the Kiwanis’ 1970’s members, who improved Beall Springs by pouring a 12 by 12 concrete slab and installing benches and picnic tables. The total cost of the project cost over $1,000,000. 
​
Today there are over 20 members, and they hold the original core values of the founders in their hearts. Led by their president, Ron Carden, the Warrenton Kiwanis has been hard at work improving Warren County.
We are thankful for all of the hard work that Kiwanis of Warren County has done for the children and over all citizens of Warren County. Happy 95th Birthday! Here’s to many more!
