Mount Vernon
Kiwanis Club
Welcome to Mount Vernon’s Kiwanis Noon Club web site.
Kiwanis Salmon Barbeque Volunteers
schedules can be found on the Salmon BBQ Volunteer page located on the navigation
bar on the left hand side of each page.
Our Kiwanis club was founded in 1924 and was
sponsored by the Bellingham Kiwanis club. We invite you to come join us for our
hour long luncheon membership meetings every Monday at noon located at the Cottontree
Inn & Convention center in Mount Vernon.
Please follow these links for: directions
to our meeting place and membership information.
Kiwanis clubs, located in 80 nations,
help their communities in countless ways. Each community’s needs are different-so
each Kiwanis club is different. By working together, members achieve what one person
can’t accomplish alone. When you give a child the chance to learn, experience, dream,
grow, succeed and thrive, great things happen.
Kiwanis Objects
The six permanent Objects
of Kiwanis International were approved by Kiwanis club delegates at the 1924 International
Convention in Denver, Colorado. Through the decades, they have remained unchanged.
•To
give primacy to the human and spiritual rather than to the material values of life.
•To
encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
•To promote
the adoption and the application of higher social, business and professional standards.
•To
develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive and serviceable citizenship.
•To
provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to
render altruistic service and to build better communities.
•To cooperate in creating
and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which makes possible
the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism and goodwill.
