The Kiwanis Family consists of all branches of the Kiwanis
organization including: K-Kids, Builders Club, Aktion Club, Key Club, Circle K,
and Kiwanis. During K-Family Day, all the Kiwanis Family organizations are
encouraged to attend and participate together in social activities and service
projects. On Saturday, November 20, 2013, the Georgia District held its first
K-Family Day in Atlanta, Georgia.
Approximately two hundred Georgia Key Clubbers, Circle
K’ers, and Kiwanians gathered together for a traditional tailgate lunch and the
Georgia Institute of Technology’s football game against Alabama A & M. Some
of the funds from the game tickets were donated towards the Eliminate Project,
a project taken on by Kiwanis to rid the world of maternal and neonatal tetanus
by 2015 which will celebrate the 100th year anniversary of Kiwanis
International.
Altogether, there were five different Circle K clubs
represented at the event, coming from the north of the state to the east coast:
Young Harris College, Georgia Southern
University, Georgia College & State University, Georgia State University,
and of course Georgia Tech.
We also welcomed a past Georgia Circle K’er as well as a
potential member attending Emory University. Overall, the event was a terrific
success, and we look to hold another K-Family Day next year! It will surely be
a Circle K event to behold, so be sure to stay tuned for next year!
