Club Organization
The Kiwanis Club of North Gwinnett has served this outstanding community since 1939. Over the past 71 years our members have worked countless service hours on a multitude of community projects and fund raising activities in the Peachtree City and Fayette County areas. Our dedicated membership includes approximately 90 men and women of all ages, backgrounds, and life experiences. All of us are alike in one significant way...we are committed to helping our fellow man and serving this community in any way we possibly can.
Our Club is only one of approximately 175 Kiwanis Clubs in Georgia. We are in Division 19 of the Georgia District, headquartered in Macon. State membership is approximately 8000 individuals. Georgia, in turn, is part of Kiwanis International (headquartered in Indianapolis, IN) where nearly 8000 clubs exist in 80 nations around the world. Approximately 300,000 active members are part of the Kiwanis family, representing nearly every culture on every continent, all seeking to improve people's lives.
Our club is lead by four officers elected yearly by its members. In addition there are nine elected members that serve 3-year terms on the Board of Directors. As in most organizations, the majority of our work is done in committees. Every club member works on one or more committees of his or her choice. For a brief description of these groups please click on "Committees" on this website.
We serve our community in two ways. First, we commit our time and talents on a variety of service projects aimed at helping others with an emphasis on children. Second, we return to the community every dollar earned at each of our fund-raising events. We carefully review potential recipients, then prioritize our giving. Click on "Service Projects" to get a better idea of just a few of our activities.
Being a Kiwanian has its own rewards. The greatest gift to one's self is the gratification in knowing you are contributing your time and effort to aid people in dire need. Raising funds to help deserving people or charities, participating in fellowship with others, and giving something back to your community are the highest levels of self-satisfaction one can ever hope to achieve. Please make a personal commitment and visit us soon. See for yourself what Kiwanis is all about and what we do. You'll be glad you did. And so will we!
