What we do at club meetings
Our meeting is opened with the singing of "America" and the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance and the invocation. We then have a program, which usually involves a presentation by a guest speaker, followed by reports by the president and members.

How much it would cost you
  • A one-time membership fee of $53
  • Annual dues of $120, or two biannual installment payments of $63, payable April 1 and October 1
  • The cost of your coffee

How our club serves the community
Proceeds from the poinsettia sale and other projects are placed in the project budget, the giving arm of the club, and are used for the many contributions made by the club to youth and community organizations, such as:

In addition, our members spend many hours giving of their leadership, knowledge, experience, direction, and talent to worthwhile and needy organizations and individuals throughout the state of Indiana.

How you would be inducted
Prospective members must attend at least three meetings before they can be considered for induction into the club. Following admission, you will be inducted at a brief, but dignified, ceremony. At that time, your sponsor will formally introduce you to the club. You will then be presented with your Kiwanis lapel pin.

What we would expect of you as a club member
We would like all members to be as active as possible. At a minimum, attendance at 50% of the club meetings and activities is recommended. Additionally, you will be asked to sell at least ten poinsettias. This project is one of our club's primary fund-raising activities.

You would also agree to accept full responsibility inherent in any committee appointment you would receive; any program assignments, such as invocation or reception; and in any office to which you might be elected.

What we will promise you
  • An opportunity for you to share your experience, your knowledge, your time, and your love in service to your community
  • The prestige of Kiwanis membership
  • Fun, fellowship, and evidence of true friendship each time you meet with us
  • An informative weekly bulletin and the Kiwanis International magazine

What counts as attendance
Primarily, attendance at our regular meetings.

Secondarily, attendance at a meeting of any other of the thousands of Kiwanis clubs around the world, or attendance at a regular meeting of our Board of Directors. Also, attendance at certain committee meetings, meetings at Kiwanis International Headquarters, and special meetings for club functions.

What we hope you will do now
