Membership
Guiding Principles
Kiwanis members are guided by these key principles:
- To give importance to the human and spiritual rather than the material values of life.
- To encourage living by the Golden Rule.
- To promote higher social, business, and professional standards.
- To encourage and be servant leaders.
- To build Kiwanis clubs that build lasting friendships and serve and strengthen local communities.
- To promote justice, patriotism, and goodwill.
Meetings
Kiwanis clubs view their role within their respective communities with a great deal of foresight. Key aspects to operating an effective club include:
- Evaluating both children’s issues and community needs on an ongoing basis
- Conducting service projects to respond to those identified needs
- Maintaining an active membership roster of professional business people who have both the desire and the ability to serve their community
Club meetings traditionally are conducted once a week and offer an atmosphere of fun, learning, and fellowship. In addition to attending the meetings, the typical Kiwanian volunteers each month to assist with club service projects.
Prospective members are invited to join by existing members. Our club's Board of Directors will then review membership information for approval. Beyond initial induction fees, members contribute annual dues as determined by the club. The Federal Way Kiwanis Club meets weekly. Members, on average, invest about six hours a month by participating in meetings, projects, and volunteering in our community.
