Becoming A Member
Each club selects its members from the surrounding community. Kiwanis clubs
look for persons over 18 years old who are interested in their community and other
people, and they seek members who can contribute four to six hours a month for
club activities and projects.

Prospective members attend a minimum of three meetings to learn about the
club and allow the club to know you. Each prospective member must have a sponsor
and must make formal application to join. After application, the Membership Chairman
will interview you and insure you are aware of the Kiwanis aims and functioning.
The Chairman will submit your name to the Board of Directors for approval and
induction, which occurs at a regular club meeting. After paying an induction fee,
which covers the costs to the club associated with processing a new membership,
each member pays quarterly dues, which are set by the club.
| New members participate in an orientation program that helps
them determine how to become involved in ways that best match their personal interests
and skills. Members quickly learn that the benefits of membership increase with
their level of participation in their club. They find the "Kiwanis Connection"
to be an excellent fit in their personal and professional lives. |
