About
Us
Kiwanis Golden K of
Rochelle was granted a charter by Kiwanis International on December 4,
1986 with 14 members, and has
grown to 60 members today. Two new members are scheduled for induction
the first Thursday in April.
Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization of women and men who share
the challenge of community and world development.
Since its founding in Detroit, MI in 1915, Kiwanis has grown to
approximately 9,000 clubs in 80 nations. Nearly one-third of a
million Kiwanians in every culture and on 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 Kwanis membership, individuals can give of themselves, their
time, experience, knowledge, and love, to those wh need
them most. Kiwanians can work
for a way of life in which they believe.
