A LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT

Celebrating Our 59th Year of Volunteer Service to Our Community
...and still GOING STRONG!

John Tyner

President 2008-2009

The Kiwanis Club of Rockville is a volunteer group of women and men who are dedicated to the needs of children and young adults on a local, national and international scale. Kiwanis clubs are organized throughout the United States and abroad as part of a global network to share ideas and resources for the improvement of communities.

Kiwanis International is a dynamic organization which provides its members the opportunity for personal and professional growth through community involvement and interaction. Each Kiwanis club chooses its own service projects to address community needs. Service projects include promoting literacy, sponsoring higher education for disadvantaged students, and assisting with and funding events for needy children.

Kiwanis clubs also sponsor Circle K clubs for college students, Key Clubs in high schools, Builders Clubs in middle schools and K-Kids in elementary schools. The Kiwanis Club of Rockville sponsors four of these clubs. The Builders Club of Christ Episcopal School in Rockville, the Key Club of Magruder High School, the Key Club of Wootton High School and the Key Club of Richard Montgomery High School provide youth with opportunities to develop leadership and learn the value of volunteering. The Rockville Kiwanis Club also sponsors high school sophomores in the Hugh O'Brian Youth (HOBY) Maryland Leadership Program every year. All of these students represent the leaders of the future for Kiwanis and our community.

The Rockville Kiwanis Club provides hands-on community service activities each month to local non-profit organizations. Club members also carry out various fund raising activities to support community service projects as well as specific charities. This website highlights our Club History and some of the Volunteer Service Projects, Programs and Activites Rockville Kiwanis members have been involved in since 1950, and are involved in currently.

Yours truly,
John Tyner
