How To Become A Member
of
The Three Rivers
Kiwanis Club
Kiwanis International is a thriving organization of
service-minded men and women who respond to the unique needs of
their communities and address worldwide issues by “Serving the
Children of the World.”
Founded in Detroit, Michigan, USA, in 1915 by a group of
businessmen, Kiwanis International is headquartered in
Indianapolis, Indiana. Today, the entire Kiwanis family has
more than 600,000 members in more than 13,000 clubs. Kiwanis
clubs serve in 96 countries around the world and achieve what
individuals cannot do alone.
Prospective members are invited to join by existing members.
The club's board of directors then reviews membership
information for approval. Beyond initial induction fees,
members contribute annual dues as determined by the club. The
Three Rivers Kiwanis Club meet weekly. Members, on average,
invest about six hours a month by participating in meetings,
projects, and volunteering in their community.
Objects of Kiwanis
Individual clubs throughout the world are guided by the six
objects of Kiwanis. The framework of these six objects are the
guiding force in all of the efforts put forth by
Kiwanians.
- 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 of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and
goodwill
Through Kiwanis membership, individuals give their talent,
time, and love to those in need. Kiwanians worldwide dedicate
themselves to a way of life in which they believe.
