Elm Grove Golden K Kiwanis Club

'Cruisin' the Grove Car Show'

We are committed to community service in the Elm Grove, Brookfield, New Berlin, Wauwatosa and surrounding area, with emphasis on activities that will benefit children. We have weekly programs featuring a wide variety of interesting speakers. This interest is primarily due to the varied backgrounds of our membership and their ability to draw speakers on subjects from their own experience and contacts. EGGK is of sufficient size to be attractive to speakers from a broad range of professions and associations.
