A Tradition of Service and Community

"Serving the children of the world" is the motto of the Kiwanis Club, and the Orono-Old Town chapter is living up to that promise with its 77th annual auction and yard sale. This event is not just an opportunity to find great bargains on household items, appliances, paintings, toys, sports equipment, and more; it is also a chance to support a noble cause.

A Rich History of Service

Founded in 1915 in Detroit, Michigan, Kiwanis International has grown from a business networking group to an organization focused on community service, particularly benefiting children. The Orono-Old Town Kiwanis Club, established in 1935, has been serving its community with dedication and pride, contributing to the well-being of children and families in the area.

Event Details

The 77th annual auction and yard sale will be held on August 22nd and 23rd. The event will take place at the Kiwanis Club premises, with the yard sale starting at 3:30 pm and the live auction kicking off at 5:30 pm on both days. Attendees can enjoy food while browsing through the wide array of items available for purchase. Organizers recommend bringing friends and reusable bags for convenience.

Supporting a Worthy Cause

Funds raised from this charity event will support various programs and initiatives for children in the Orono-Old Town communities. The Kiwanis Club has a long history of contributing to the local community, and this event is a vital part of their fundraising efforts.
