Welcome to the Kiwanis Club of Arlington. We are the largest service club in Arlington, Virginia, and we are constantly seeking to enlarge and expand our membership.
Our club serves the children of our community in a variety of ways. We support youth leadership organizations in the schools through a CKI club at Marymount University, Key Clubs at O’Connell, Washington-Lee and Yorktown High Schools, Builders Clubs at Swanson and Thomas Jefferson Middle Schools and a K-Kids Club at Arlington Traditional Elementary School. Through these clubs we promote leadership training and community service.
Our club and our affiliated Arlington Kiwanis Foundation together funnel between $90,000-100,000 per year to the youth organizations and to other community educational and charitable organizations primarily serving the children of Arlington or Northern Virginia. Our members participate in several fundraisers during the year to raise a large portion of these funds.
In addition, the club organizes a variety of hands-on projects during the year such as bagging groceries at the Arlington Food Assistance Center, reading to young children in the schools, providing dinner to a women’s shelter and ringing bells on behalf of the Salvation Army for a week prior to Christmas. Last year we wrote holiday cards to 100 Virginia National Guardsmen serving in Iraq and included pre-paid phone cards so they could call home to their families.
During the coming year we plan to add several other service projects. We are particularly interested in new members who would like to help us with these projects.
We welcome guests at our weekly lunch meetings. If you are thinking of visiting us as a prospective member, please call Ted Kramer at 703-304-1140 or email him at ted@tedkramer.com, and you may attend without charge.
