Kiwanis helps kids around the world. Our Kiwanis club looks out for our community and the Kiwanis international organization takes on large-scale challenges, such as fighting disease and poverty. Our Kiwanis club is generous with its time. We are creative with our ideas. We are passionate about making a difference. And we have fun along the way!
For more than a century, Kiwanis has created opportunities for children to be curious, safe and healthy regardless of the community in which they live. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream, grow, succeed and thrive, great things can happen.
The Kiwanis Mission & Vision
Kiwanis empowers communities to improve the world by making lasting differences in the lives of children. Kiwanis strives to be a positive influence in communities worldwide — so that one day, all children will wake up in communities that believe in them, nurture them and provide the support they need to thrive. Our Kiwanis club fulfills the Kiwanis mission by serving our community through Kiwanis Community Service Projects.
Objects of Kiwanis
The six permanent Objects of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the succeeding decades, they have remained unchanged.
Object 1 – To give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
Object 2 – To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
Object 3 – To promote the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
Object 4 – To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.
Object 5 – To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
Object 6 – To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
Kiwanis Service
Service is at the heart of every Kiwanis club, no matter where in the world it’s located. Members stage approximately 150,000 service projects and raise nearly US$100 million every year for communities, families and projects. By working together, members achieve what one person cannot accomplish alone.
Our Kiwanis club focuses on changing the world by serving children, one child in our community at a time. To reach more people and have a greater service impact on their communities, many clubs sponsor a Kiwanis family club — K-Kids for primary school children; Builders Clubs for adolescents; Key Clubs for teens; Circle K clubs for university students and Aktion Clubs for adults living with disabilities.

It’s Veterans Day, and we want to sincerely thank all of our veterans for the freedoms we enjoy today!
Our speaker today was Rev. Mike Simpson, assistant pastor of Rubyville Community Church. A former Marine, Mike served from 1991 to 1995. His service led him to places all over the world such as Spain, Tunisia, Greece, Italy, Japan, South Korea and Israel.
Mike said there are more than 176,000 active duty members overseas. He reminded us that when we sit down to eat Thanksgiving dinner with our families, to be thankful for the sacrifices of these men and women and their families here at home.
All veterans in attendance today are pictured below from left:
- Gary Albrecht, Army Reserves, 1961-67 - Roger Drake, Army Reserves, 1963-69 - Ralph Scott, Air Force, 1961-64 - Major Mike Morales of the Salvation Army, Air Force, 1990-97 - Mike Simpson, Marines, 1991-95. ... See MoreSee Less
Rev. Gowdy discussed the Foundation's latest project to restore two mausoleums, one constructed in 1900 and the other in 1928. The Greenlawn Mausoleum Window Restoration Campaign is the first step in an important multi-year restoration and preservation project. Donations may be made online at www.paypal.com/ncp/payment/P2HAFETQMJG26
The City of Portsmouth is funding roof repairs for the mausoleums, and the Foundation has committed $50,000 toward the cost of the window restoration. Proceeds from the recent Tombstone Trot 5K Run/Walk will benefit the project as well.
Organized in 2017, the Foundation has spearheaded the completion of $650,000 in restoration and preservation projects at the cemetery, the site of approximately 80,000 graves. They regularly apply for grant funding and are working to add the cemetery to the National Registry of Historic Places, a list that already includes the cemetery's chapel. This designation will make more grant funding possible.
