Welcome
What is Kiwanis?
Kiwanis is an international service organization serving the youth of
the world. It was founded in Detroit, Mich., in 1915.
The word “Kiwanis” originally came from an Otchipew American Indian expression, “Nunc Kee-wanis, meaning “we trade” or “we share our talents.” That expression was translated by the early founders of the
organization into our first motto “We build.”
In 2005 the organization chose a new motto, “Serving the Children of the World” which has been enhanced by our current saying “Changing the world one child and one community at a time”.

Civic club sign gets a fresh look
Kiwanian Bill Tyler has been part of a group to renovate the civic organization sign that was in disrepair on Hwy. U.S. 1. Working with several community members and Boy Scout Troop 110, a sturdy, wooden sign now graces another section of U. S. 1 near the Aiken Municipal Airport.
Soon to be Eagle Scout, Cameron Fisher, helped guide the project and constructed the wooden structure with his fellow members of Boy Scout Troop 110. Allegra Printing helped with creating the organization signs.
