Kiwanis offers an opportunity for personal involvement in the leadership and improvement of the community, the nation and world. While service is what Kiwanians are known for, their club offers much more. Meetings and projects provide fellowship -- fellowship that is sincere and lasting.

Kiwanians are engaged in education, government, banking, marketing, agriculture, international trade, non-profit organizations, and many other fields. They are corporate officers, managers, small-business owners, and self-employed professionals. They are young individuals embarking on careers, successful executives and active retirees.

Let's face it: People are busy with family, friends, careers, hobbies, and other interests. Kiwanis offers an affordable opportunity -- one that costs a little time, not a lot of money -- to make a difference in the community. Members decide how much time and money they want to invest.

Club meetings offer an atmosphere of fun, learning, and fellowship, while providing a welcome change in the daily routine. In addition to attending the meetings, the typical Kiwanian volunteers time each month in club service projects.

Because of the flexibility and fulfillment that Kiwanis offers, men and women who are involved in several activities need not feel uneasy about adding to their schedules.

• Insight into issues affecting local and global community.
• An opportunity to expand business and professional networking.
• An arena in which to develop and use leadership skills.

Membership in a Kiwanis club affords you the opportunity to work with others for the benefit of your community and the world. Likewise, the benefits to you as a club member are many -- friendships, civic contacts, informative and entertaining gatherings, development of personal leadership skills, opportunities for international understanding and fellowship, and a sense of accomplishment. Make time to make a difference with Kiwanis.
