There are over 32 members in the Troy Kiwanis Club, including State Senator John Pappageorge and State Representative Marty Knollenberg both who live in Troy. Troy Kiwanis members meet every Monday for lunch at the spectacular Maggiano’s restaurant in Troy (located on West Big Beaver, south side of the street, between Crooks and Coolidge). The lunch menu includes two pastas and two entrees. Also, included with your meal is soup, salad, dessert and a beverage. It’s a dynamic atmosphere at Maggiano’s, and the members enjoy the camaraderie with other professionals and residents of Troy. Some of our members have relocated to other jobs or moved out of the City for one reason or another, but still stay committed to the club.

Professional education is another part of the Kiwanis Club mission. Guest speakers are recruited frequently, and mini-presentations are part of the Kiwanis luncheon experience.

The cost for lunch is $14.

If you’re not sure, please consider joining us one Monday as a guest.



Founded in 1915 in Detroit and with headquarters now in Indianapolis, Kiwanis International is a thriving organization of service- and community-minded individuals who support children and young adults around the world. More than 600,000 Kiwanis-family members in 96 countries make their mark by responding to the needs of their communities and pooling their resources to address worldwide issues. Through these efforts, Kiwanis International truly is "Serving the Children of the World."

Worldwide, the entire Kiwanis family is committed to eliminating the devastating effects of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD), the world’s leading preventable cause of mental retardation. More than 1.5 billion people are at risk of suffering IDD because they do not receive enough iodine in their diet. But, because of Kiwanis’ efforts, many parents who have been affected by IDD are able to watch their children grow up healthy and reach their full physical and mental potential. The results of the IDD program will benefit every future generation.

A typical Kiwanis club is a snapshot of its community, with members from all walks of life and at every step of the career ladder. They are unified in their belief that children and their communities benefit from the efforts of a proficient group of caring and involved volunteers. In a typical year, Kiwanis clubs invest more than 6.2 million hours and US$100 million in communities around the world. Through these efforts, the Kiwanis organization truly leaves a lasting impression on future generations.
