An organizational meeting for a new Kiwanis Club is scheduled for Thursday evening, May 8 at 5:30 p.m. at the Smithville City Hall Conference Room. All are invited to attend.
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world one child and one community at a time. The focus is children although Kiwanis does help others in the communities in which its serves. It is said that on average, a Kiwanian impacts the lives of 106 children each year.
Kiwanis International has been around since 1915 and has clubs in 85 nations. Kiwanis has been actively engaged with the Aktion Club (adults with disabilities), Circle K (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 in local communities and around the world by raising money, awarding grants, and providing resources to clubs and members.
Members also support Young Children Priority One (The womb to age five), BUGS (Bringing Up Grades), Terrific Kids (Character Development), and Key Leader (Leadership Retreat for Teens ages 14-18) Programs.
