The Coldwater KiwanisClub received its charter in May 1969 and was organized by the Lima Club. The club began with 30 charter members and two of those remain today. Our club has maintained a membership of approximately 65 to 70 in recent years. The Kiwanis Club of Coldwater is in Division 2 of the Ohio District. Over the years our club has received numerous Distinguished Club Awards from Kiwanis International. Seven members have served terms as Kiwanis Division 2 Lt. Governors. One member has served as the Ohio District Kiwanis Governor.
Our club normally meets on the first and third Tuesday of the month. The first Tuesday meeting is at 7:30 AM at the Pla Mor Lanes in Coldwater. Breakfast is available at this meeting. The third Tuesday meeting is at 11:30 AM at the Coldwater Methodist Church. Meetings begin with brief club announcements followed by an educational and entertaining program. Each month, a new team of 3 members is assigned responsibility to schedule speakers for that month’s meetings. We have found that this method of scheduling speakers provides a wide variety of presentations. The meeting typically last one hour.
A Board meeting is scheduled once each month and normally is held on the second Tuesday of the Month. Location and time can be found in the Club Calendar on this website. This meeting is open to all members.
Occasionally, the Club will meet at a different location or time. These location and time changes are announced in the weeks prior to the affected meeting and are shown in the Club Calendar.
The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive.
Kiwanis Service
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it is located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$133 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Kiwanis clubs focus on improving the world by serving children, one child and one community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor Kiwanis Service Leadership Programs. Our Club sponsors:
K-Kids for 4th grade students
Builders Club for 7th & 8th grade students
Key Club for High School students
Aktion Club for adults with disabilities
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.
The Coldwater Ohio Kiwanis Club was chartered by Kiwanis International in 1969 and includes over 65 active men and women. We meet at 7:30 a.m. at Pla-Mor Lanes the first Tuesday of each month and at Coldwater UMC at 11:30 a.m. on the 3rd Tuesday.
Today’s speaker was Doug Mader, Superintendent of Coldwater Exempted Village Schools. Doug grew up in Coldwater and was a student in the school system. After graduation he joined the Air Force and had assignments which enabled him to travel the world. When he left the service, he had a number of other jobs, but also earned a degree in education. Doug said he had fond memories of growing up in Coldwater and is very happy to be back. He said his first job after earning his degree was at an all-girls school in Kentucky where he served in many capacities. He comes to Coldwater after serving as principal for 16 years at a large school in the Cincinnati area. He has three adult children who live in the Cincinnati area. Doug went on to describe some of the goals established for the Coldwater system. One, is enhanced pride in the system. Two, is to engage people. Three, is to be intentional about what we offer to our students. He gave examples of actions to accomplish these goals, such as having school flags put up in the community to signal school events, looking at the school culture and curriculum, empowering staff, being transparent to all sectors, having a long-term vision, and seeking to become a Blue Ribbon School. ...

Jon Dingledine, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer of Mercer Health, was the speaker for the September 6 of the Kiwanis Club of Coldwater. Jon was present to explain the new Da Vinci Robotic Surgical System that is being introduced by Mercer Health. He said the hospital has been planning to add this system since 2014 through both its budgeting process and its recent facility expansion. Robotic surgery benefits are fewer complications, shorter recovery time, reduced hospital stay, more precision, and reduced blood loss. In addition, Jon said the system provides lots of helpful data. Several surgeons currently on staff have been trained to use the system and will be using it for general surgery and obstetrics beginning soon. Additional training for surgical team members will take place over the next few weeks. ... See MoreSee Less
