Tysons-Area Kiwanis Club Hosting Membership Week in September

The Kiwanis Club of Tysons Corner/McLean is sponsoring a week-long membership drive later this month in the hopes of expanding membership while also promoting the club’s core values: Community service and youth engagement.

The Kiwanis Club is an international organization with chapters all across the globe, including the chapter in Tysons. According to a Kiwanis press release, the organization spans more than 600,000 members and raises more than $100 million annually and donates more than 18 million service hours to serve various communities and the children in those communities.

The Tysons Corner/McLean Kiwanis Club currently sponsors 11 high school Key Clubs, two college Circle K/CKI clubs, two elementary school K-Kids Clubs, and one Aktion Club.

Members must be 18 years of age, but children are permitted to participate in Kiwanis service events so long as they’re accompanied by a parent or guardian.
