About Golden K

A Golden K Kiwanis Club is a special Kiwanis Club, dedicated to serving the community and it's youth, but made up primarily of retired people, although it is not limited to them.

Decatur Golden K has over 160 members,

with an average age of 75. Our club annually is among the leaders in service hours given for the good of others. Our meetings are important occasions for comradeship and fun. Because we are retired, we can undertake daytime, weekday projects that other service clubs cannot do. If you are looking for something to do in retirement, come and join us.

We welcome new members.

About KIWANIS

The six objects of Kiwanis International:

To give primacy to the human and spiritual, rather than to the material values of life.
To encourage the daily living of the Golden Rule in all human relationships.
To prompt the adoption and the application of higher social, business, and professional standards.
To develop, through Kiwanis clubs, a practical means to form enduring friendships, to render altruistic service, and to build better communities.
To cooperate in creating and maintaining that sound public opinion and high idealism which make possible the increase of righteousness, justice, patriotism, and good will.
