done by our major committees of Youth Service, Community Service,
Sponsored Youth, Young Children: Priority One, Senior Services,
and Human and Spiritual Values. For information about each of
our committees, the chairperson, and what each of the committees
is doing in the community, just click on "COMMITTEES" menu link above.
We are a breakfast club. Our meetings feature a traditional hearty buffet breakfast, a fruit and cereal buffet,and a continental breakfast buffet; excellent programs and speakers; lots of fun and fellowship. There is a strong sense of pride in our accomplishments, along with a spirit of family, and feeling of belonging. If you are a visiting Kiwanian here for the "Colder Months at Home", come be a snowbird. There is a great deal of information about Kiwanis on the pages linked to the "MEMBERSHIP " button at the top of the page. You can also use the "Kiwanis Sites" button. If you are interested in joining an active service club, be our guest at breakfast and look us over. We are sure you will return!
