The Kiwanis Club of Ahwatukee is a group of your friends and neighbors working as a small part of Kiwanis International, the global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world, one community and one child at a time. Come join us! Your local Kiwanis Club performs many service projects in Phoenix and in its surrounding areas. If you are interested in participating in community service or helping children in need, we encourage you to learn about us here on our site or at a club meeting. We meet almost every Thursday morning. Please read on for details. The 36th Annual Easter Parade and Spring Fling will take place on Saturday, April 7th at 10:00 a.m sharp. The Parade will begin at 48th Street and Warner Road in Ahwatukee and end at Cheyenne and Warner Road. The entry form for the Parade is on the right side of this page. The Spring Fling will begin at 11:00 a.m. and end at 4:00 p.m. The Vendor Agreement for the Spring Fling is also listed on the right side of this page. Please note the deadlines, payment methods and contact information listed on both forms. Our inaugural "Bikes for Tykes" drive was so successful that we have decided to make it a year round project. Please contact us to donate your gently used bikes. We'll fix them up so don't worry if yours isn't in perfect shape. We sincerely appreciate your help. Follow this link
