Civic organizations play an important role within our community. I hope you will consider membership. A corporate membership is a unique feature of our club that allows one representative to be our official member; however, if he/she is unable to attend they can send a coworker in their place. This is a perk for employers who want to get multiple employees involved in their community.
Effective October 1, 2021, New Member Fee was eliminated from Kiwanis International and all Kiwanis districts. Instead, anyone who joins a Kiwanis club during the Kiwanis year will be charged prorated dues and fees, based on the month they join. (See the chart below.) On each subsequent October 1 (the first day of the Kiwanis year), all members will then be assessed the annual dues-and-fees amount.
Dues are $50 per month; your company may choose to pay every other month or annually. We typically meet the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th (as occurs) Wednesdays of the month at noon. Lunch is provided at our meetings.
