Kiwanis Day at the White House- September 21
Every day, members of the Kiwanis family serve their communities. On Friday, September 21, fourteen of them will be recognized as Champions of Change during the first-ever Kiwanis International Day at the White House.
The Champions of Change program was created to honor ordinary Americans doing extraordinary work in their communities. The Kiwanis Champions of Change represent the entire Kiwanis family—from Kiwanis Kids to Circle K International to Aktion Club to Kiwanis.
You can participate in Kiwanis Day at the White House by watching the events live at www.WhiteHouse.gov/live. Live stream events include the Champions of Change event at 12:45 p.m. EDT on Friday, September 21. People around the country will also join the conversation on Twitter using the hashtag #WHKiwanis. | | | | |
