Our Kiwanis club participates in a variety of projects throughout the year that involve fundraising, community service, and assisting children locally and worldwide. Additionally, we occasionally have speakers at our twice-monthly meetings to explore topics of interest to the membership. We engage in a number of social activities to share experiences, talents, and our collective interests. All represent great opportunities for service, friendships, and personal growth.
