Membership Interest What is Kiwanis? Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization whose mission is to improve the lives of others, particularly children. Kiwanis was founded in Detroit, Michigan in 1915 and has grown to 9000 clubs located in more than 80 nations. The Presque Isle chapter was chartered in 1950 and admitted women in 1987. How is Kiwanis organized? The Presque Isle Kiwanis Club is administered locally, guided by national by-laws. Officers, a Board of Directors, and numerous committees direct the club. Members serve on one or more committees and participate in service activities. Committees meet as needed at a convenient time and place. What does it cost to be a member? Semi-annual dues are $50. There is a one-time initiation fee of $15. Meals at the weekly meetings are $8, but the meal is optional. Who belongs to the Presque Isle Kiwanis Club? Most of the members live in and around Presque Isle. The men and women in the club include a wide span of ages that range from the 20s to the 80s. There are about 60 Kiwanians in the Presque Isle club. Members are business men and women, professionals, community volunteers, retirees, and others. What goes on at the weekly meetings? Club meetings are held weekly at noon on Tuesday at the Presque Isle Inn & Convention Center in Presque Isle. A typical club meeting begins with lunch, followed by the reciting of the Pledge of Allegiance, and Invocation. Club busi-ness is conducted as necessary, and that is followed by an informative presen-tation usually lasting about 20 minutes.

A child’s potential is limitless, but it needs to be nurtured. Since 1915, Kiwanis International has provided the framework to bring volunteers and children together, with thousands of hours given each year working one-on-one with children all over the world. Teaching them to read. Involving them in service projects. Showing them how to build stronger communities. Grassroots involvement on every continent. Because every child has the potential to shine.
