President's Welcome

Nancy Bedford |
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.
