Silver Bow Kiwanis Committees

Silver Bow Kiwanis has a number of committees to help manage the club and our service projects and other events, and to help us to do the best we can to change the world one child and one community at a time.

Budget

This group is responsible for preparing a budget of estimated income and expenses for submission to the board of directors, as well as any recommendations it may have on financial matters of the club. The chair of the Budget Committee is expected to be on the Fund Raising committee as well.

Community Services

This committee should implement projects on the arts, business affairs, citizenship, civic improvement, community beautification, conservation, health, international understanding, literacy, public affairs, safety or help for senior citizens and disabled persons.

The community service committee of Silver Bow Kiwanis coordinates service activities including highway and lot cleanups, blood drives, recycling efforts, and Kiwanis one-day events.

Fund Raising

The fund raising committee is responsible for coordinating fund raisers and securing the funds necessary for the Club to continue to operate and to meet our goals and obligations. This committee coordinates our annual raffle and various food vending opportunities.
