About Us

The local Rome Kiwanis is the second oldest Kiwanis club in Georgia. At one time the club was very large - so large that they stopped recruiting. Through time, the club membership waned. About 3 years ago an effort was begun to renew and rebuild the club. Most of us present today have been part of Kiwanis for no more than 3 years. We are growing now and we have added several new members lately. A few of them have been younger folks as we try to appeal to all generations. Among our members are a Superior Court judge, college professors, administrators, teachers, investors, county extension agent, small business owners, retirees, young professionals, managers, etc.

We sponsor the Key Clubs at both Model and Pepperell schools. We provide scholarships to students at both schools each year. We adopt families during the holidays to make sure that they have a good holiday meal. We also sponsor an art show for students from the local schools. Winners of the art show go on to compete on a district level. Scholarships are awarded to the winner.
