Kiwanis was <strong>org</strong>anized January 21, 1915. The name “Kiwanis” was coined from an American<br />
Greg Seaton<br />
Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis, which means Joann “we Haley trade” or we “share our talents.” With<br />
Kiwanians<br />
Kiwanis <strong>club</strong>s in more than 90 countries around the world, Kiwanis has become an international<br />
service <strong>org</strong>anization for men and women – volunteers changing the world through their service<br />
to children and communities.<br />
Kiwanis conducts 270.781.1252 itself in accordance with these basic standards: To give importance to the<br />
Roger LaPointe<br />
human and spiritual Kiwanianrather than the material values of life; To encourage living by the Golden<br />
Rule; To promote higher social, business, and professional standards; To encourage and be<br />
servant leaders; To build Kiwanis <strong>club</strong>s that build lasting friendships and serve and strengthen<br />
local communities; and To promote justice, patriotism, and goodwill.<br />
The mission of Kiwanis is to serve the children of the world. Kiwanis members help shelter the<br />
homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantaged, and care for the sick. They develop youth<br />
as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. Working<br />
together, Premier Kiwanis Realty members Partners achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give<br />
a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things happen!<br />
Ron Cummings<br />
Kiwanis members Kiwanian are guided by these key principles, called the “Objectives of Kiwanis<br />
International”.<br />
