History of Peterborough
Kiwanis Club
The Kiwanis Club of Peterborough
was formed in 1989 and chartered in 1990. For over 15 years we have been
serving the people of the Monadnock Region by providing needed services
to those less fortunate than ourselves. Our belief is that when we strengthen,
inform and aid our fellow citizens, we help to create a better place for
all of us to live. We are extremely proud of our community and our Club's
role in helping it continue to be a wonderful place to live.
