Kiwanis Club Of Wilsonville, Oregon
| Kiwanis is a worldwide service organization of individuals who want to improve their communities. As a Group they can achieve what they cannot do alone. These men and women attend Kiwanis club meetings for fellowship and inspiration. They perform voluntary community service through committees ... usually after normal work hours. Kiwanis is not a social club nor a secret or political society. It does not prescribe a way of life for others. It often does, however, act as a forum for diverse ideas. |
