If you Google the Kiwanis Mission, the gold headline, “Kids Need Kiwanis: appears on the Webpage. Simply stated, that is what being a Kiwanian is all about, no matter the age of the Kiwanian. Our club spans six decades and I admire our members who could easily enjoy retirement and ride off into the sunset however they continue to be an active member of our club mainly because, “Kids Need Kiwanis.Children and Youth Day held on the lawns and buildings of the State Capital is an event that exemplifies the Kiwanis mission. The entire event is all about serving children and their families. The day is filled with hands-on activities, educational displays and activities, careers, colleges, you name it, it’s there. The event brings together public and private organizations all focused on children, their health, their education, their future, and reminds everyone to enjoy life together through the eyes and experiences of our future, children!
