Why should I join Kiwanis?
By joining the Kiwanis Club of Lexington Blue Grass, you can:

• Positively impact the Community 
  Our volunteer projects and funding programs have a direct impact on the quality of life in the Lexington & Central Kentucky community. Our primary focus is on serving children, and we support them through fundraisers like our annual Duck Derby and on-campus football game parking.
• Make new friendships
  We are a service club, not a networking group, but our weekly meetings and events provide opportunities to develop relationships with fellow Kiwanians. Our members have a wide variety of backgrounds, education and vocations. 
• Learn about local issues
  Our weekly programs feature a variety of speakers that allow you to learn first-hand about local and national issues. Our program committee attracts some of the most knowledgeable speakers on a wide spectrum of topics.  
• Improve your leadership skills
  We have numerous committees that administer the Club and its programs. Members are expected to actively aid in preparation for our Duck Derby. You may also pursue a seat on the board of directors, which oversees the Club’s operations and finances.

What organizations do you help?
We support these organizations on a regular basis:

• Harrison Elementary School
• William Wells Brown Elementary School
• Meals on Wheels
• The Hope Center
• Bluegrass AMBUCS
• Shoulder to Shoulder Global
• Sleeping Lambs
• Arbor Youth Services
• Jarrett’s Joy Cart
• Ronald McDonald House Charities

When/where do you meet?
We meet every 2nd & 4th Thursday at noon at Sedona Taphouse in Palomar . Meetings last one hour and include lunch along with a presentation. While you contemplate joining our club, we will pick up your lunch tab so that you have an opportunity to meet our members and learn about us.  

What are expectations for your members?
Members are required to pay annual dues and are expected to serve as an active member of our club along with participating in club fundraising and volunteer activities.

How much does membership cost?
We offer two types of membership: An individual membership, which applies to one person, and corporate memberships that allow any representative of the organization to participate. 

How do I join?
Complete a membership form and return in person to a lunch. Your first lunch is on us as you consider joining our club. Your form will be reviewed and approved by our board. Once you are approved, you will pay your membership dues and will be initiated at a Club meeting.
