An Invitation to Join Kiwanis 

What is Kiwanis?

Kiwanis is a service organization for the benefit of the community, nation, and world.  It does not prescribe a way of life for others. It often acts as a forum for diverse ideas. 

Kiwanis offers opportunities for personal involvement in the leadership and improvement of the community, nation, and world.  As a group, Kiwanians can achieve what individuals cannot do alone.  More information may be obtain at www.kiwanis.org. 

What does Kiwanis do?

Kiwanis is made up of local clubs which meet at regular times for fellowship and inspiration.  They perform voluntary community service through committees.  Programs sponsored by local clubs support assistance to young children and youth, the aging, the needy.  Other programs provide improvements to the community and encourages international understanding. 

How does one join?

Membership is by invitation.  This is YOUR invitation to join.  Do you know other individuals who would make a good Kiwanian?
