Happy Kiwanis New Year!

• Many of you may be wondering, “Why do we have to pay dues? Are we paying to do volunteer work?”
• Not exactly…
Paying to Do Community Service???
• It is important to remember that you are not paying to do community service; you are paying to be a part of a wonderful organization that provide numerous opportunities and benefits beyond service projects.
• Paying dues allows for you to get a richer club experience, making the leadership and fellowship aspects of CKI possible!
