Club History

Rochelle Kiwanis Golden K was granted a charter on December 4, 1986 with 14 members, and has increased to over 58 members today.

Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization of women and men who share the clallenge of community and World development. Since its founding in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915, Kiwanis has grown to approximately 9,000 clubs, 80 nations. Nearly one-third of a million Kiwanians in every culture and in every continent are helping to improve people's lives.

Kiwanians are individuals who give a little of their time to make their communities and the World better places in which to live and work. Being part of a local club, members have the opportunity to: Make business and professional contacts; learn first-hand about local, national, and international issues; use and improve leadership skills; participate in the life of their community and World; and develop lifelong friendships.

Through Kiwanis membership, individuals can give of themselves: Their time, experience, knowledge, and love to those who need them most. Kiwanians can work for a way of life in which they believe.

OUR MISSION

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 high 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.

To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
