This New Albany Kiwanis Club consists of fifty plus members dedicated to improving the life of children in New Albany and Union County. Since it’s founding in 1929, the New Albany Kiwanis Club has sponsored many projects to raise money for charitable contributions for needy children.

Our primary fund raisers include the annual Hotbed Classic basketball tournament, now in it’s 15th year, and Flag Services to local businesses. The New Albany Kiwanis Club has several committees devoted to different needs such as athletic activities, medical needs, human and spiritual growth, education, and college scholarships, as well as, special projects for unforseen events such as Hurricane Katrina.

 

The New Albany Kiwanis Club meets every Tuesday at 12:00 at Taylor’s Restaurant.
