In the Beginning

Kiwanis began in 1915 with one member – Joe Prance – and then one club, the Kiwanis Club of Detroit No. 1, Michigan.  Today Kiwanis has grown to more than 300,000 members in more than 8,000 clubs throughout 71 nations worldwide.  The North Valleys Kiwanians are part of the Cal-Nev-Ha District, Division #23.  For more information on Kiwanis International or our district and division, check out these web sites… www.kiwanis.org   www.calnevha.org  http://23kiwanis45.com  Return to Top

Objectives of Kiwanis international

• To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
  
• To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
  
• To promote the adoption and 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.

Community Involvement

   The Kiwanis Club of North Valleys is a service organization (the only one in North Valleys, we believe) focusing specifically on youth and families in our neighborhood. The North Valleys Kiwanians are proud of their involvement in the North Valleys. Our members are active in service projects throughout the year.  Return to Top
