ONE ACT OF KINDNESS CAN CHANGE THE COURSE OF A LIFE.
The Kiwanis motto is serving the children of the world. Our Mission is to improve lives through fellowship in service, worldwide
Proving that one person can make a difference, Kiwanians around the world have helped eradicate diseases, build schools, shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, and generate millions of smiles. Locally, we are a service-based organization that serves our community! You’re most familiar with our Flags over Meridian during the summer holidays (Flag Day, Independence Day) but we’re so much more. We’re the folks putting benches in parks, school supplies in backpacks, supporting the summer bandshell concerts at Lake Lansing Park, raising funds for so many local organizations. We’re your neighbors and friends – and we’re ready to help!
As we revamp our website, we will be adding new information about the club, about what the Kiwanis club does for the community and how YOU can get involved.
FLAGS OVER MERIDIAN
There are several holidays when we all want to show our pride in our nation. Kiwanis will fly the Stars and Stripes for you at your home or business for a small annual donation per flag.
