Southwest District of Kiwanis International

Southwest District of Kiwanis International Kiwanis is a global organization of member-volunteers working to change the world, one child and one community at a time!

Kiwanis International is an international, coeducational service club founded in 1915. It is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Current membership is 240,000 members in 7,700 clubs in 80 nations. The average age is 57; the membership is 74% men and 26% women. The name “Kiwanis” was coined from an Otchipew American Indian expression, "Nunc Kee-wanis", variously translated as "we trade," "we sh

are our talents," "we make a noise," or "we meet." The organization's founders translated it as "We build," which became the original motto of Kiwanis. The current motto is "Serving the Children of the World". Members of the club are called Kiwanians. Kiwanis International is headed by a Board of Trustees, an International President and other officers. These officers are elected at the annual convention of Kiwanis International. There are fifty three administrative districts, each headed by a Governor, and the districts are further divided into service areas called divisions, comprising 12 to 20 clubs and headed by a Lieutenant Governor. Every club has a president and board of directors.

SAVE THE DATE!!!!
SUPPORT SOUTHWEST DISTRICT KEY CLUBS!!!

Dear Kiwanians,

My name is Olivia Neill, and I am honored to serve as the Treasurer for the Southwest District of Key Club International.

As we begin the new service year, one of my goals is to help expand opportunities for Key Club members across our district. Through fundraising efforts, we hope to support leadership development, service initiatives, and scholarship opportunities that help students grow both inside and outside the classroom.

To help support these efforts, we are hosting a nationwide Panda Express Community Fundraiser on Thursday, July 2, 2026. By ordering online from any participating Panda Express location and using fundraiser code 9015979, a portion of your purchase will be donated to support Southwest District Key Club programs.

This fundraiser is a simple way to invest in the future of our student leaders while enjoying a meal with family and friends. We would greatly appreciate your support and help in spreading the word within your clubs and communities.

Thank you for everything you do to support Key Club and the students we serve. I look forward to working together to make this year a success.

Yours in service,

Olivia Neill
District Treasurer
