What is Kiwanis?
An international organization of service clubs with the objectives of helping people and worthwhile causes, of building better communities, and of improving international relations.
Who can Join?
By invitation, anyone 18 years of age or older. We are blind to gender, race, and creed. Membership is approved by the club Board of Directors, based upon the recommendation of two members and occurs through an induction ceremony. Each club selects its members from the surrounding community. Kiwanis clubs look for persons who are interested in their community and other people, and they seek members who can contribute four to six hours a month for club activities and projects.
Tallahassee Killearn Kiwanis was founded in 1983.
Killearn Kiwanis’ only fund raiser is its annual golf tournament. The tournament is usually held in mid April of each year.
We are all passionate about making our community and the world a better place for children so they can thrive. We are devoted to serving the children in our local community and also children all across the country and worldwide through unique and innovative service projects and fundraising initiatives
Killearn Kiwanis sponsors k-kids clubs at Gilchrist Elementary school and at Desoto Trails Elementary school. We also sponsor a Key Club at Lawton Chiles High School.
We also sponsor the Bob Bull Aktion club.
Kiwanis Motto: “Serving the Children of the World”
Kiwanis’ Six Objects:
1. To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
2. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
3. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards
4. To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship
5. To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
6. To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
