Founded in 1920 by seventy-one Augusta business leaders, the Kiwanis Club of Augusta has continued for over a century to fulfill our founders’ mission to be a “force for advancement and striving for betterment along all lines of the city and its interests.” Our club follows the Kiwanis International principles of fellowship, coordination, and service. The diverse membership is comprised of business people, professionals, educators, community volunteers, and others who meet to hear interesting programs and to enjoy each other’s company. The Kiwanis Club of Augusta meets on Mondays for a lunch program with speaker in the upstairs River Room at Saint Paul’s Church located at 605 Reynolds Street, Augusta 30901. Our meetings provide a speakers’ forum on current issues and an opportunity for fellowship among members. Recent past speakers include the members of Congress, University Presidents, leaders in the non-profit community, leaders of major business and industry, and state and local government officials.The club has an endowed scholarship trust fund that has been awarding scholarships to residents of the Savannah River Region since 1953. In 2000, our club created an additional charitable trust that awards monetary gifts to deserving organizations in our community. We offer our members the opportunity to participate in service projects for various good causes in Augusta and our surrounding communities. The service projects allow us to give back to our community; and also give us further opportunities to fellowship together. Contributing to the endowments and serving on various projects are all voluntary activities.Membership in the Kiwanis Club of Augusta is by invitation only.
