    What Kiwanis Means to Me

    "Do you know what the Kiwanis club in Adair County does for Adair County?  Do you know that we support local charities that help kids eat on the weekends, have snacks when school is out, and that we help with Angel Trees by donating money?  Did you know that the BUGS program in your schools is funded by Kiwanis?  The list goes on and on...Did you know that every single cent raised by any event is put back into the community, primarily to the kids of the community?  I didn't know all of this until I joined the Kiwanis club.  So when you see that the Kiwanis is sponsoring an activity, we are either giving back to the community or raising money for the community.  Nothing more.  Nothing less.  Thank you for supporting the events that we do gt to have, you are supporting your community when you support Kiwanis sponsored activities."

    Strawberry Festival

    The Strawberry Festival is the Stilwell Kiwanis Club's primary fundraising project and provides the resources for many service projects during the year, including the following:

    Fourth of July Fireworks

    The annual Independence Day fireworks show on top of Davis Mountain is a joint project with the City of Stilwell.  This spectacular show is visable not only in the city but also  in many of the surrounding rural areas.

    Easter Egg Hunt

    The Easter Egg hunt at Adair Park is enjoyed by hundreds of area youth.  Drawings for numerous prizes  add to this annual event.  A grand prize of a bicycle is awarded to a girl and boy who draw the lucky tickets.

    What is Kiwanis?

      

    Kiwanis  is a global organization of member-volunteers who are dedicated to  changing the world, one child and one community at a time. As with  Kiwanis International, the primary purpose of the Stilwell Kiwanis Club  is to sponsor programs that benefit children in the community. The club  also offers opportunities for members to be involved in civic activities  that benefit the community while networking with other community  leaders.​


    Kiwanis Objects

    Since 1924 the six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International have been:

    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. .

    2019-2020 Kiwanis Installation Program

    The 2019-2020 Kiwanis Installation, held September 29, 2019, was kicked off by a potluck dinner enjoyed by all.

    These Kiwanis International cookies were made by Megan Davis of Sweet Company.  Megan's husband, Tyler, just happens to be our President-Elect!
