Inter-Club: An Inter-Club Meeting is a meeting or activity staged by two or more Kiwanis Family Clubs including Kiwanis, Circle K, Key Club, K-Kids, Builders Club and Aktion Club.  The definition of an inter-club was expanded from simply attending another Kiwanis club meeting to include attending the projects, activities and social events of another K-Family Club.  The broadened definition promotes more opportunities for fellowship, education and encourages greater interaction between Kiwanis Clubs and our Service Leadership Programs:

  • Clubs with 20 or fewer members need a minimum of two members in attendance to constitute an inter-club meeting.
  • Clubs with 21-30 members need a minimum of three members in attendance to constitute an inter-club meeting.
