Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown
The
Kiwanis Club of Sun City Georgetown is a service
organization comprised of caring men and women from all walks of life. Our objective is to bring
aid to children in need. Most of our efforts benefit children in Georgetown and Williamson County.
A portion of the funds we raise go to help meet
Kiwanis International
objectives which focus on the special needs of young children from prenatal
development to age five. We serve by sponsoring fund raising activities and performing community
service activities.
Our Club is governed by a
Board of Directors
which includes five officers and six directors.
Chartered in 1997 our Sun City Club is 135 members strong, the second largest club
in all of the
Texas-Oklahoma District
. We have sponsored the
Sun City Holiday Home Tour
since 2001. Another major fundraising activity is the Sun City Garage
Sales.
To date, our Club has contributed more than $190,000.00 to various organizations in our
community.
We award $2,000 scholarships to one or more graduating seniors in the Georgetown and
Jarrell high schools, and also Richarte high school, the alternative high school in
Georgetown. In 2005 we began our
Literacy Initiative
, where we provide free books to the children in Title I schools through the second
grade, and to Head Start children. Club members deliver the books and read to the
classes. We provide financial support to other local organizations, including the Georgetown
Public Library Children's Program, the Palace Theatre Children's Scholarship, and
others.
