This year our club is celebrating its 90th Anniversary! And we would like you to be a part of this
special event. The Kiwanis Club of Gloucester Township and Blackwood is looking for new
members!
There are many measurable benefits to joining Kiwanis! You will have the unique experience of
participating in various community service projects that are geared to helping our children, as
well as the community as a whole.
Kiwanis of Gloucester Township-Blackwood meets regularly and members interact with people
from the area. In addition to regular meetings, we have great social get togethers, which include
dinners, award ceremonies, and on occasion informal gatherings at a member’s house.
Kiwanis has projects that are unique and enjoyable to take part in. We organize and run a
Children’s Garden, in which local children experience first hand the joy of gardening. We start at
the beginning by prepping the soil, then planting, exercise garden up-keep, and finally harvest
the fruits of our hard work! Kiwanis provides lessons in nature which surrounds the garden, and
we partake in fun and educational crafts every week. The club also participates annually in
awarding scholarships to outstanding and deserving students in the area. We host events at
Ronald McDonald House and at other charitable organizations.
As a member of the Kiwanis Club of Gloucester Township-Blackwood you will work with other
groups in the community. We participate in activities along side the Family Resource Center, The
GT Special Parents and Special Kids Network, and the police department. We have strong
relationships with local businesses, some donate regularly financially and supply materials for
our projects.
Unlike Kiwanis, other local service organizations require members have a prominent social
standing in the community, or are by invitation only. This is not so with Kiwanis. We pride
ourselves in reaching out to anyone in the community who wants to give back. We are inclusive
and welcome anyone who wants to pitch in and help our children. If you are interested in joining,
learn more at:

Feel free to come to one of our meetings. We meet the first and third Tuesday of each month
at 6:30 PM at Lamp Post Diner in Clementon. We are always looking for new ideas!
We hope to see you soon!
