WHAT’S NEW?

Our club has big plans for the 2023-2024 Kiwanis year, which kicked off on October 01, 2023! The Board of Directors has developed the following goals for this year: 

  • MEMBERSHIP: To recruit five (5) new members
  • DIVERSITY: To create an intentional plan to recruit more members from
    diverse social identity backgrounds, while also evaluating how diversity is
    experienced in the service projects our club undertakes
  • SLP & YOUTH CONNECTIONS: To complete at least one (1) service project
    with each of our sponsored Service Leadership Program (SLP) clubs (CKI,
    Key Club, K-Kids), and our Cub Scout Pack) with a focus on participating in
    service projects these clubs are planning
  • PARTNERSHIPS: To explore new partnerships with the Howard County
    Public Libraries, Free Little Libraries, and a Howard County-based youth
    mental health organization while also deepening connections to our current
    long-term partners
  • SERVICE: Develop and implement one additional club-designed service
    project, similar to Backpacks for Breaks and Set for School, that engages
    members in club-directed, hands-on service
  • LOCAL FOCUS: To complete a new community needs assessment

WHAT IS KIWANIS?

No, we are not an airline. That’s Quantas. Kiwanis a global service organization focused on improving the lives of children. We want to make the world a better place, and we all want kids to have the opportunity to be happy, to feel loved, to be healthy, and to feel cared for. Here is a quick video that explains what Kiwanis is!
