Kiwanis hosting public dinner meeting

The Kiwanis Club of Rushville will be holding a guest dinner catered by the Dutch Mill Buffet at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the meeting room of the Rush County Schools Administration Building, 330 West Eighth Street, Rushville. The purpose of the dinner is to acquaint prospective members with Kiwanis and its goals.

Donovan Peoples, past governor of the Indiana District of Kiwanis International, will be the speaker.

“We Build” is the Kiwanis motto, and its mission is to serve the world’s children through community service. Locally, the Kiwanis Club of Rushville sponsors the Key Club at RCHS, a scholarship through the RCCF, and the elementary school BUG and Terrific Kids programs; has long been involved in the annual Easter egg hunt, fundraising for Riley Children’s Hospital and the RFD smokehouse as well as other youth-related causes; and has participated in or initiated numerous other community activities including the recent repainting and landscaping of the bathrooms at South Memorial Park.

Kiwanians are guided in their everyday lives by six Objects adopted in 1924:

n To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.

n To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.

n To promote the adoption and application of higher social, business, and professional standards.

n To develop, by precept and example, a more intelligent, aggressive, and serviceable citizenship.

n To provide, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.

n To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
