As president of the Kiwanis Club of Atlanta, I welcome you to our web site on behalf of the men and women of Georgia’s First Kiwanis Club, founded in 1918 and still today an inclusive welcoming group dedicated to making a difference for children and our community.
Through our sponsorship of Builders Club, Key Club, and Circle K, we serve children and young people by teaching Kiwanis values and the joy of serving others, emphasizing spiritual values rather than material ones. Our members are active with children and in the community: planting trees at Hillside Hospital; joining with the Boys and Girls Clubs for their Kids Cultural Challenge Day; meeting the boys and girls at Camp Kiwanis; reading to Headstart children and providing them each with a new book every month; or greeting our troops coming home or shipping out at Hartsfield-Jackson.

Is an inclusive, downtown civic club. Every week at lunchtime, prominent speakers deliver compelling and interesting programs of civic importance. Lifelong professional and personal relationships grow among members, who are both long-time and emerging city and metro leaders. We give primacy to life’s human and spiritual values, and offer opportunities for members to connect with and serve the community in meaningful ways.
The Kennedy Middle School Builders Club demonstrated this as they assembled at the Atlanta Humane Society on February 10th.
Kennedy Builders Club Facility Advisor, Ms. Beverly Easterling, coordinated the effort w
ith Ms. Ashley Vites of the Society who identified a project perfectly suited for the Club.
Take nine Builders Club members, their facility advisor, add in two Atlanta Club Kiwanians, and you get a production line that would be the envy of any industrial engineer. The crew packed up 400 gift bags, loaded with pet toys, that the Humane Society will utilize at marketing events.
The Kiwanis “Team” was then treated to a tour of the facility which is the jewel in the crown of all humane society facilities.
Ms. Mayle McLaughlin, head of Animal Behavior and Training at the Society, ended the day with a fascinating talk on dealing with stray animals.
Building ties and servicing the community. The Kennedy Builders Club ROCKS!
