What is a Kiwanian?

• Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world
  through service to children and communities.
  Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed
  the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care
  for the sick. They develop youth as leaders,
  build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric
  research, and much more. No problem is too big or
  too small. Why? Because working together, members
  achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
  When you give a child a chance to learn,
  experience, dream, and succeed, great things
  happen!
• As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!
