As we celebrate another birthday for the Kiwanis Club of Cleveland, Kiwanis has made a difference in Cleveland and Bradley County and around the world. Kiwanis is a global organization of volunteers dedicated to improving the world, one child and one community at a time. The Kiwanis name means “we trade” or “we share our talents.” It was coined from an American Indian expression, Nunc Kee-wanis.
Kiwanians are volunteers changing the world through service to children and communities. Kiwanis members help shelter the homeless, feed the hungry, mentor the disadvantage and care for the sick. They develop youth as leaders, build playgrounds, raise funds for pediatric research, and much more. No problem is too big or too small. Why? Because working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone. When you give a child a chance to learn, experience, dream and succeed, great things happen! As Kiwanis clubs and members, we see it everyday!
