Why be a Kiwanian?

Kiwanis Interntional is divided into districts. Our district is the Eastern Canada and Carribean District composed of twenty-eight divisions. Our Club, founded on April 12, 1921, is one of ten clubs in the Black Walnut, 5 West Division.

Meetings

As a club we meet every 1st, 2nd and 4th Thursday in the Fellowship Hall at Trinity United Church, King Street at 6:15 P.M. In July and August other arrangements are made for bi-weekly summer meetings.

Meetings consist of dinner, a minimum of formal business, and a program (normally a timely and interesting speaker). Six committee meetings are held each year to allow members the opportunity to participate and promote club and community projects. We adjourn by 8:00 P.M.

Spouses are invited to several meetings each year.

Costs to Kiwanians consists of $100.00 per quarter in advance. This includes meals.

Every member receives ten issues of the Kiwanis International Magazine each year.

We encourage every Kiwanian to strive for perfect attendance.
