About us
People
ask "what is Kiwanis and what do you do"? Well, here is our Kiwanis answer.
The Objects of Kiwanis To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material
values in life. To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human
relationships. To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business and
professional standards To develop by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and
serviceable citizenship. To provide through Kiwanis Clubs a practical means to form enduring
friendships, to render altruistic service and to build better communities.
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and
high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice,
patriotism and goodwill. Kiwanis is a global organization:
Kiwanis is a worldwide organization of women and men who share the challenge
of community and world improvement. Since its founding in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915, Kiwanis has grown to about
9,000 clubs in more than 96 nations. Nearly one-third of a million Kiwanians in
every culture and on every continent are helping to improve people's lives. What a New Member Can Expect From the
Kiwanis Club of Snohomish Tillicum: An opportunity for you to share your experience, your knowledge, your time
and your love in service to your community and your fellow man. A chance to
belong to a group of similarly dedicated persons, and to share with them the fun
and fellowship of meeting once a week and hearing interesting, stimulating
programs and to work together for the good of the community. What We Expect of a New Member:
To attend regularly, and participate in our club meetings. To commit some time to our community service and fundraising projects, two
or three times a year. To sponsor one new member each year. To accept the responsibility of leadership in any office or assignment to
which you are elected or appointed. What Is The Membership Like? We are a group of men and women of diverse ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
What we share in common perhaps can best be summarized in the Kiwanis motto:
Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world
one child and one community at a time. It is something you do.
