"Kiwanis is a global
organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the world one child
and one community at a time." - Defining statement of Kiwanis
International
Presidents Message
Dayle Williamson
Welcome to our website. We are a service organization of 120
plus members dedicated not only to helping our own community,
but others in Nebraska, the United States and even the rest of
the world. We are just a small part of a global organization of
260,000 adult members - volunteers in nearly 8,000 clubs in 96
countries around the world. The Lincoln Center Kiwanis Club has
been serving Lincoln since 1919, just a few short years after
the first Kiwanis Club was organized in the United States. For
those many years, the mission has never changed. Kiwanians
worldwide are involved in providing child-focused activities.
The defining statement of Kiwanis International is, "Kiwanis is
a global organization of volunteers dedicated to changing the
world one child and one community at a time." Even though the
mission has not changed, current economic conditions have
created a new sense of urgency, worldwide, and certainly right
in our own Lincoln community. Now more than ever, we need women
and men in our club to provide strength and passion to make a
difference through difficult times. In fact, the theme for the
2009-2010 year is, "Discover the Passion." Very fitting and most
appropriate.
