KIWANIS CLUB OF CHARLOTTESVILLE

What we are…

We are part of a worldwide service organization consisting of a third of a million men and women in eighty-four countries serving the needs of others, especially children and youth. The Kiwanis Family (K-Family) worldwide includes more than 600,000 individuals in K-Kids (elementary schools), Builders Clubs (middle schools), Key Clubs (high schools), Circle K (colleges), and AKtion Clubs (special needs individuals), and Kiwanis Clubs.

Where and when we meet…

At the Elk's Lodge (BPOE #389) near Darden Towe park (1/3 mi north of the Ponderosa -- near I-64 exit 224) on the first, second, third, and fifth Monday evenings at 6:30 p.m. Dinner is followed by a short business meeting, fifty-fifty, and happy dollars. The program is introduced at 7:30. We end our meetings at 8 p.m. sharp. The fourth Monday is dedicated as a “work night.” Non-profit agencies submit a variety of hands-on projects for our members to perform on site. Twenty or twenty-five members usually attend to do painting, yard work, mass mailings, clean-up, fix-up, etc. Dinner is provided by Breadworks. The cost of all meals is included in member dues ($113/quarter).

What we expect of members…

Regular attendance at Club meetings with at least 75% attendance as a goal; a commitment of some of your time to our club projects; personal sponsorship of new members into the club; acceptance of responsibility for committee appointment and for any office to which you might be elected.

What we promise…

An opportunity to share experiences, knowledge, time, and interests; to serve the people (especially children and youth) in your community; to enjoy the prestige of Kiwanis membership; and to experience fun, fellowship and friendship each time we meet. Our meetings are not only informative, they are fun. Studies show, Kiwanis membership is good for your health.
