Kiwanis will be visiting the week of October 20-22 to learn about the community and needs regarding youth in the area to enhance opportunities for children. We are seeking community input about the new club and would love a chance to meet with you if you have any availability in your schedule to meet.
Some general information about Kiwanis:
Our Kiwanis Defining Statement is Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time. Our focus is CHILDREN, and it is said that Kiwanians, on average, impacts hundreds of children each year.
Kiwanis International has been around since January 21, 1915…111 years and is in over 80 countries.
Kiwanis has been actively engaged with Service Leadership Programs such as Aktion Club (adults with disabilities), CKI (college and university students), Key Club (high school students), Builders Club (middle school students), and K-Kids (elementary school students).
Kiwanis helps meet the needs of children and local communities around the world by raising money, awarding grants, and providing resources to clubs and members through service. Members also support Young Children Priority One (Pregnancy to age five), BUGS (Bringing Up Grades), Terrific Kids (Character Development), and Key Leader (Leadership Retreat for Teens ages 14-18) Programs
.
There are a ton of opportunities that can be at the core of a new group looking to make a difference.
Let me know if your schedule allows 15-20 minutes on October 20 at 10 am or October 2 at 1:30 pm to meet at your clinic? We can certainly choose another day or time if these two options don't work for you.
