Accepting the donation are the group’s president, Wendy Oney (center), and its vice president, Ruth Honeycutt. NFIG is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization formed in 2021 to continue park enhancements and foster community pride in the village.

Schwartz said more than $143,000 of the $207,000 goal has been raised for the project.
Thursday, May 8, 2025: Sandy Lonz (left), president of the Norwalk Kiwanis club, presents a $1,000 check to Kevin and Elaine Conger during a luncheon at Berry’s on Main. The Congers run Camp Conger, which is located on the family farm at 2195 Walnut Road in North Fairfield and hosts local 4-Hers each summer. Kevin Conger’s grandparents, along with the Ohio State University Extension office, started the camp in 1925, making it the oldest, continuous 4-H camp in the state. A 100th anniversary celebration is planned for June 28 and 29, and the Kiwanis gave the donation to assist the Congers with their efforts.

Thank you to the Norwalk Kiwanis for supporting our student mission trip to Belize. Our team went to Belize the first week of January and made a great impact on the community of St. Oscar Romero Roman Catholic School and the children of the Valley of Peace. The experience also positively impacted our mission team with many of them excited to return some day.
