Kiwanians know they have two of
the world’s best leadership development
programs in Key Club and Circle
K. For Kiwanis members who actively
take part in guiding and leading local
youth through K-Kids, Builders Club,
Key Club, and Circle K, it’s a wonderful
gift to see a child’s grow into a
confident, impactful leader. Attend a
Key Club or Circle K convention, and
magnify the wonder of that experience
a thousand times over.
In 2008, Key Club and Circle K
staged their international conventions
in Denver, Colorado—Key Club in
July and CKI in August. Through
opportunities for fellowship, service,
and education, the conventions
showcased Kiwanis’ style of leadership
development.

Service
Service is near and dear to every member of the Kiwanis family. During their 2008 International conventions, Key Clubbers (left) took part in the March for Babies to benefit partner March of Dimes, and CKI members (above) helped the Bonfils Blood Center save lives at the CKI Blood Drive. |
