What is Kiwanis International?
Kiwanis is a thriving organization of service-minded men, women and youth who respond to the unique needs of their communities. As a group, they can achieve what they cannot do alone.

These men and women attend Kiwanis club meetings for fellowship and inspiration. They perform voluntary community service through committees. . . . usually after hours.

Kiwanis is not a political society. It does not prescribe a way of life for others. It does, however, act as a forum for diverse ideas.

Kiwanis performs service beyond the capability of the individual: assistance to the aging, the needy and to youth; improvement to communities; and encouragement of international understanding.

The objectives of Kiwanis
* TO GIVE primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than the material values of life
* TO ENCOURAGE the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships
* TO PROMOTE the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards
* TO DEVELOP, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship
* TO PROVIDE, through Kiwanis Clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities
* TO COOPERATE in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase in righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will
