What We Do:
|
|
The most essential and the most important part
of the Gate City Club, however, is the
total membership since it takes the effort
of every member to achieve and maintain the high
standards of this organization.
The Gate City Club meets every Monday
(except certain holidays) at The Painted
Plate, 2001 North Church Street (see directions
below).
12:00 - 12:30 Lunch
12:30 - 12:45 Business and Announcements
12:45 - 1:15 Program
The Board of Directors meets the last
Monday of each month immediately after the regular
club meeting. All members are invited to attend.
Board meetings qualify for meeting make-ups.
Members are urged to become involved in club
projects and to attend club meetings on a regular
basis.
For Monday meetings that fall on a
holiday, instead of meeting on that Monday,
members are invited to meet at noon on Tuesday at
Swensen's Ice Cream in Friendly Shopping Center.
Save your receipt and give it to Joe Albright
for reimbursement, up to $8.25. This Tuesday lunch
will count as a make-up meeting, as will
attending any other Kiwinas Club meeting. These
extra meetings will help members earn "Perfect
Attendance" awards.
Club dues are $125.00 per quarter which includes
the cost of the meal at each meeting. There is also
a one-time initiation fee of $50.00. Members are
encouraged to contribute at least $200 per year to
the Kiwanis Foundation to fund our annual projects
(this annual contribution is in lieu of having
members conduct fundraisers), and occasionally to
special projects adopted by the Board of
Directors to support the activities of the
Club. Past Special Projects include a Habitat
for Humanity House and a sizable contribution
to the Greensboro Children's Museum.
The Gate City Club is a very
distinguished and proud organization having
received many awards and honors. The Gate City
Club is also a very active club and some of the
more recent organizations and special projects are
listed below:
- Habitat for Humanity
- Greater Greensboro Chrysler Classic Golf

voluntary tax-deductible pledges to the Gate
City Kiwanis Foundation which supports our
community services. Members are encouraged to
contribute at least $200 per year (this annual
contribution is in lieu of having members conduct
fundraisers), and occasionally to special projects
adopted by the Board of Directors to support
the activities of the Club. Past Special Projects
