Who is eligible?
Membership in Kiwanis is for men and women of good character and community standing, residing or having interests within our club area. They must be able to attend regular meetings and be able to give time and service to the community.
How to become a member
If you are interested in becoming a member, join us at one of our weekly meetings and get to know some of us! If you already know a current member, ask them to be your sponsor. If not, no worries. We will match you with someone you’re sure to like. You will need to complete our membership application form (see below) and submit it to your sponsor or our Membership Chair. Our Membership Chair will then meet with you and your sponsor to share additional information about our club, gain some information from you, and discuss the application process in greater detail.
Membership Dues
Annual membership dues are currently $170 per year. New members are also asked to pay $75 at the time they are officially inducted into the club which covers the cost of supplies (apron, pin, plaque, name tags, etc.) at $32.50 and three months of membership dues. New members will then receive an invoice for the balance of their dues for the rest of the year. Dues can be paid one quarter, two quarters, or one full year at a time. Dues help to support Kiwanis International, the California/Nevada/Hawaii Division and the general administration of our local club.
