Sheridan Kiwanis Club
Recently, several members of the Sheridan community came together to start a new Kiwanis Club. The Kiwanis Club of Greater Sheridan is ready to serve the community through a variety of local, national, and international Kiwanian programs.
Now in its early stages, the club is looking to add new members to serve, network, and engage the local community and the world. If you are interested in challenging yourself to do new things and connecting with the Sheridan community, please consider attending a meeting or contacting one of the club’s members.
The new Sheridan Kiwanis Club recently had its first meeting with its first guest speaker, Hamilton County Coroner Jeff Jellison.

An interesting speaker with an interesting story to tell, Jellison spoke for about 45 minutes, ranging over a variety of topics including his background in law enforcement, newspaper publishing, and now in his first year as the county coroner.
Jellison said the Hamilton County Coroner’s Office is currently on tract to be certified as one of about 30 of the highest-ranked such agencies within the United States. The coroner’s office staff has increased from three people to 12 in the past year to handle all the duties associated with providing new services to a growing population of 350,000 residents within Hamilton County.
The Sheridan Kiwanis Club meets on the first and third Thursday evenings of each month at 6 p.m. at the Sheridan Historical Society Museum, 315 S. Main St., in beautiful uptown Sheridan, just on the “country side” of Hamilton County. Won’t you join us?
