WHAT IS KIWANIS?

"Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child and one community at a time. Kiwanis believes the most effective way to enhance a community is to enhance its children. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream, and succeed, great things will happen."

Kiwanis Clubs sponsor Kiwanis family organizations that provide young people and adults with opportunities to perform community service and develop leadership skills. One act of kindness can change the course of a life, proving that just one person can make a difference. Kiwanians have helped eradicate diseases, build schools, shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, and generate MILLIONS of SMILES.

Kiwanis members are service-minded men and women united in their commitment to and compassion for others. They dedicate more than six million volunteer hours and invest more than US$100 million annually in projects that strengthen communities and serve children. Kiwanians, through guidance and example, work to prepare today's children to be tomorrow's citizens.

THE SOUTHLAKE CLUB

The Southlake Kiwanis club was created in February 2003 by Milton Glenn and a number of clubs in the area. The club started with 39 charter members with Robert Williams being the first president followed by Milton.

The club has grown to a membership of 48 as of July 2009. We meet on the second and fourth Wednesdays of the month at Timarron Country Club. We have a relatively young club with the majority of our members in their 40's and 50's with only two retirees. We have a number of committees that are responsible for various functions of the club. Our current service projects include support of the Save A Smile program of Tarrant County. The Save A Smile program is a group of dentists who provide dental services to low income children. The club also supports the Lake Dallas Boys and Girls Club, the Community Storehouse in Keller, the Battered Women's Foundation of Bedford, local families in need and other needs.

Our primary fund raiser is a 5K run held on the second Saturday of May. The club also sponsors two 7 on 7 football tournaments during the year.

Please feel free to join us at one of our meetings and enjoy some good fellowship. Come and “help serve the children of the world.”
