Program Notes

The name Kiwanis stems from a North American Indian phrase, which, like many aboriginal terms, had a variety of meanings, including; "We have a good time," "We make a noise," or "We trade." Learn more about Kiwanis, here. The Kiwanis motto is: We Build. Throughout its history, the Kiwanis name has been synonymous with endeavors that build character, knowledge, commerce, communities, and—through genuine concern for others—hope. We Build in Kiwanis.
