Volunteerism remains one of the great strengths of American life. Across towns and cities, adults who give their time to service organizations help strengthen communities, support neighbors in need, and sustain values that unite us. Whether it’s through church groups, local charities, or civic clubs, volunteers form the backbone of our communities. In Waushara County, two groups that embody this spirit of giving are the Wautoma Kiwanis Club and the Wild Rose Kiwanis Club—both dedicated to improving the lives of children and families while nurturing the next generation of community leaders.
