Membership in a Kiwanis club connects a person with the community and other individuals he or she wouldn't otherwise know. Club members learn about developments and happenings in their community during their regular club gatherings. They also enjoy new social and business networking opportunities with the wide variety of members in their club. And, together, they combine their interests and skills to improve their community in ways that make a real impact in the lives of others, particularly children.
Our sponsoring Kiwanis Club is the Richmond Kiwanis Club. They have assisted us in organizing our newly formed chapter. We invited to their weekly luncheon every Tuesday at noon and will help with special projects.
