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 - 12:25 Lunch
12:25 - 12:40 Business and Announcements
12:40 - 1:00 Program
The Board of Directors meets the 2nd Wednesday of each month at various locations. 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.
Club dues are $180.00 per quarter which includes
the cost of the meal at each meeting. There is also
a one-time initiation fee. Members are
encouraged to contribute at least $250 per year to
the Kiwanis Foundation to fund our annual projects
(this annual contribution is in lieu of having
members conduct fund raisers), and occasionally to
special projects adopted by the Board of
Directors to support the activities of the
Club. Past Special Projects include Victory Junction and a sizable contribution
to the Operation Smile.
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:
- Wyndham Classic Golf Tournament Marshals
- Salvation Army ringing of the bells at
Christmas
